A remarkable one-owner custom home overlooking Hole 18 in The Preserve at Jordan Lake, this 5,020-square-foot residence was thoughtfully designed to feel distinctive in every room. Set on one of the neighborhood's largest lots—an expansive, level .87-acre homesite with wooded and golf course views—the property offers exceptional privacy, a separate fire pit area and abundant space for a future pool. Inside, layered millwork, custom cabinetry, designer lighting and a confident, cohesive palette of rich blues, greens, and moody tones create a home filled with personality. Two dedicated offices and two distinct living spaces are located on the main level. One features floor-to-ceiling blue-gray built-ins with library-style picture lighting, concealed storage and cane-front accents; the second gathers around a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone fireplace and opens naturally to the kitchen and outdoor living areas. Custom trim, hardwood-matched floor registers and intentional architectural details reflect true craftsmanship throughout. Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the kitchen is anchored by a massive quartz island with furniture-style detailing, seating on multiple sides and an integrated banquette. Two-tone soft-close cabinetry, a JennAir professional gas range with double ovens, full-height glossy tile backsplash, dedicated coffee station, illuminated open shelving and multiple preparation zones balance beauty with exceptional function. A five-panel sliding barn door opens to a generous walk-in pantry with custom shelving. Additional deep drawers as well as cookbook displays and a concealed cabinet provide thoughtful storage. The secluded main-level primary suite enjoys direct porch access and serene views of the backyard, woods and golf course. Its spa-inspired bath pairs vanities and extensive custom cabinetry with quartz surfaces, a statement chandelier, shimmering ceiling finish, frosted privacy glass and intricate herringbone tilework. Two main-level offices allow work, study and creative pursuits to remain completely separate from the home's four bedrooms. Outdoor living is equally considered. Multiple doors from the kitchen, living areas and primary suite open to an expansive covered porch with a vaulted, coffered beadboard ceiling, recessed lighting, and oversized fan. Designed to accommodate future screening, it provides an elevated vantage point over the backyard, fire pit and 18th hole. Upstairs, generously proportioned secondary bedrooms feature walk-in closets and extended study areas. A large media room which can also act as a fourth bedroom, and separate gym or flex room create space for movie nights, recreation, fitness or hobbies. Wide hallways, an extra-wide staircase with sconce lighting, hardwood flooring in common areas and beautifully appointed baths continue the home's custom character. Extraordinary walk-in attic space, unfinished areas and storage closets make organization remarkably easy, with additional potential for future finished space. The three-car garage is equally impressive, offering high ceilings, extensive tool and equipment storage and two professional-grade vehicle lifts available to convey with an acceptable offer—an exceptional arrangement for collectors, car enthusiasts or hobbyists. Located in the sought-after Preserve at Jordan Lake golf community, residents enjoy access to a Davis Love III Signature course, clubhouse, pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, playground, walking trails and more. Just minutes from Jordan Lake, Chapel Hill, Pittsboro and Chatham Park, this exceptional home combines a Chapel Hill address, Chatham County location and an extraordinary level of custom design.
