Located just off scenic Bay Road in Durham, also known to the locals as the “Goldcoast” due to its firery sunrise and sunset skies across the Great Bay estuaries. This 4,000 sq. ft. home was completely renovated in 2018. The house is designed after the traditional French provincial villas with steep roof lines augmented by architecturally trimmed dormers, large columns and mason-like corner boards that adorn the exterior of the house. The curved entrance stone wall was built using the granite from the property, creating a “hidden” feel to the house. At the top of the 450-foot driveway, stone pavers lead to a 3-car garage. Modern open concept floor plan encompasses the kitchen, family room, dining room and bar area. The main stay of the house, the kitchen, has a 9 x 7’thick quartz island that seats 5, top of the line Thermador appliances including a 48” range w/ industiral kitchen-quality make-up air system. The house has 3 fireplaces, 3 bedrooms, 3 baths and a 900 sq. ft. media/playroom with wide planked hickory flooring and a 20-ft vaulted ceiling. Conservation land abuts the property and a pond sits in the back, all protected by the Nature Conservancy. Outdoor activities are at your door, be it hiking, mountain biking, snow shoeing, or hunting. Trails surround you. For those that love the water, Adams Point is 1.5 miles down the road where you can launch your kayak, canoe or moor your boat.
