Set among towering pines and backing directly to the golf course, this striking contemporary home offers something increasingly rare in Chapel Hill -- genuine architectural character paired with light, volume, and privacy. Clean lines, multi-level decks, and expansive glass define the exterior, while the interior delivers the kind of dramatic, sun-filled spaces that simply cannot be replicated in conventional construction.

An open upper-level catwalk overlooks the space, adding architectural drama and a sense of connection across the home. Warm natural hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by a crisp neutral palette that lets the architecture -- and the surrounding treescape -- take center stage.
