About this home
Tucked within the exclusive Milan Corner community, this is a rare opportunity to own one of just four custom homes built in 2022 by acclaimed design/build firm - Sun Forest Systems. Combining modern architecture, upscale finishes, and a peaceful setting, this home offers a truly distinctive living experience on a beautifully positioned .78-acre corner lot. With 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 1,539 square feet, the home lives large thanks to its incredible design and dramatic natural light. The main living space is an absolute showstopper, featuring soaring vaulted ceilings and three walls of windows that create a bright, airy atmosphere rarely found in homes of this size. The open-concept family room is anchored by a gas fireplace with a shiplap accent wall, seamlessly connecting the living, dining, and kitchen spaces. Designed with both style and functionality in mind, the kitchen features high-end appliances, quartz countertops, two-tier cabinetry, and a breakfast bar that provides additional seating alongside the dining area - perfect for entertaining or everyday living. Completing the main level are 2 bedrooms which share convenient access to a hall bath. Upstairs, the private primary suite feels like a retreat of its own, complete with two walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and soaking tub designed for relaxation. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the extensive landscaping as well as the two acres of shared, wooded green space that provides a walking path and a serene natural setting. Offering the feel of almost-new construction with the craftsmanship and attention to detail expected from a quality local builder, this home stands out as a truly special opportunity in one of the area's most unique boutique communities. Despite its peaceful setting, the property is conveniently located just 10 minutes from Downtown Durham, providing easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment.
