About this home

Welcome to 226 Evington Drive, an extraordinary custom property set on 2.3 acres in Riverstone Estates, one of Chatham County's most distinguished luxury communities, backing to protected North Carolina State Park land. This one-owner residence offers exceptional privacy, a serene natural backdrop and convenient access to Jordan Lake, Wake County, UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke and RDU International Airport. Originally built by Sadler Construction, the home makes a striking first impression with its timeless white-brick exterior, dark-framed windows and professionally designed grounds. Inside, 10-foot ceilings, site-finished white oak floors, white oak trim, extensive custom millwork, architectural arches, ceiling beams, specialty cabinetry and upgraded Emtek hardware reflect an extraordinary level of craftsmanship. Thoughtful universal-design features including wide passageways, zero-entry main-level living and garage access, accessible baths and planning for a future elevator allow the home to live beautifully through every season of life. At its heart, the chef's kitchen showcases custom Harrison Vintson cabinetry, quartz countertops and backsplash, a full Thermador appliance package, XO wine refrigeration, integrated wine storage and a hand-finished plaster range hood designed to coordinate with the living room fireplace. A beautifully appointed butler's pass-through and thoughtfully designed cabinetry make entertaining effortless. The living room is equally compelling, featuring a custom plaster fireplace, white oak built-ins, Dekton surfaces and integrated color-changing lighting. Oversized sliding doors reveal the home's signature indoor-outdoor sightline, extending from the living room to the vaulted screened porch, where continuing ceiling beams and warm cedar detailing create a seamless architectural connection. Two bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level, including a private guest suite with its own exterior entrance and en suite bath, ideal for multigenerational living, extended-stay guests or an au pair. The primary suite features remote-controlled Lutron shades, custom built-ins and a spa-inspired bath wrapped in floor-to-ceiling marble tile. Remote-controlled Phantom screens open to a private resort-style backyard anchored by a 40-by-20-foot saltwater pool with a tanning ledge, approximately seven-foot depth and app-controlled lighting. Electrical infrastructure is already in place for a future pool heater. A white-brick outdoor gas fireplace, custom patio flooring, generous lounging areas and an upper-level Trex deck overlooking the pool provide exceptional spaces for gathering, entertaining and relaxing. Approximately $150,000 in professionally designed landscaping surrounds the residence with remarkable beauty. Bermuda grass, drip irrigation, extensive landscape lighting, mature ornamental trees and layered flowering gardens create the atmosphere of a secluded retreat. Iron fencing, a fully enclosed backyard and the protected wooded backdrop provide a degree of privacy rarely found this close to the Triangle's major destinations. Additional highlights include a beautifully designed mudroom, an exceptionally appointed laundry room with an upstairs laundry chute, a playroom or flex space, professional-grade gym flooring, walk-in closets, abundant attic storage, a water softener, epoxy-finished garage floors, built-in garage storage, upgraded heavy-duty garage doors and electric-vehicle charging. 226 Evington Drive presents a rare opportunity to own a private Pittsboro luxury estate where architectural distinction, thoughtful accessibility, resort-caliber outdoor living and effortless Triangle connectivity come together.
