Extraordinary Mid-Century on almost 2 acres. Originally designed in 1968 as the personal residence for acclaimed NC Design School architect Max Isley. Redesigned & renovated since 2011 carefully preserving brick floors, sweeping open space, glorious windows, woodland vistas. Opportunity for creative contemplation as well as energized celebrations. This is a home meant to be enjoyed for its quiet and for the festivity it invites. Vega iron-work gates at the courtyard entrance. Cabinetry for books and display. Lofty living space with masonry fireplace. A pair of descending staircases. An amazing screen porch, covered grilling area and twilight cocktail deck.
Well planned main level includes secluded primary suite, a private office; a cozy gathering space, a guest wing with 2 BRs, library/study, private deck & gym. Gallery hallway and DR overlook the grand entertaining area. Kitchen, which opens to courtyard, has organic black & tan granite, sleek cabinetry, high end stainless steel appliances.
Discover lovely nature at every turn from the covered parking to paver & river stone walks to gravel paths meandering to the stream bed and back to the twilight deck.
Additional space (not included in the finished square footage) is great bonus space currently used for storage but previously the favorite summer camp bunk space for visiting granddaughters. Nearby sink, mirror and make-up lights were perfect for imaginative teens and had been used as a darkroom by prior owners.
