About this home
An exceptional home that effortlessly combines timeless design with a versatile layout tailored for multi-generational living, featuring primary suites on both the 1st & 2nd floors, nestled in beautiful Governors Lake within the Governors Village community. A friendly front porch sets an inviting tone and leads into a welcoming foyer. Beyond lies the dramatic living room with a soaring ceiling & clerestory windows that fill the airy space with sunshine. Large enough to showcase a grand piano with plenty of space to relax, yet cozy enough for quiet conversations by the gas fireplace, this central room is stylish & sophisticated. Epicureans will appreciate the expansive kitchen, thoughtfully crafted for an effortless workflow & approved by the professional chef owner, boasting plentiful cabinetry & storage, stainless appliances, a dual fuel gas range, & a 2nd oven. Savory culinary creations can be enjoyed in either the light-filled breakfast nook or the elegant dining room, both conveniently positioned just off the kitchen. Tucked away nearby for maximum privacy is a quiet executive office. The sizeable 1st floor primary suite serves as a serene sanctuary, complete with a relaxing reading alcove beside a bay window, an en-suite bath & WIC. Upstairs, the clever design shines with a 2nd primary suite featuring a private full bath & WIC, equally ideal as a splendid bonus room, alongside 3 additional bedrooms to complete this 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath home. Outside, a sunny back deck overlooks tasteful plantings, while sidewalks lead directly to the lake for fresh air & dog walks, or around the corner to local shopping & fun dining. With low Chatham County taxes, great schools, friendly neighbors, an easy commute to UNC, Duke, & I-40, plus a community pool & play areas, this meticulously maintained home seamlessly balances comfort & lifestyle with everyday conveniences.
