$151,000 price adjustment. Tucked away on 1.79 acres with peaceful waterfront views of Montague Lake, this one-of-a-kind custom home feels like a retreat. It's the kind of place where mornings start with coffee on the back deck overlooking the water, and evenings wind down in your own cozy movie room just off the kitchen. Inside, the layout is unique, flexible and provides a lot of space to entertain and relax. The main level features the primary suite plus a secondary bedroom, ideal for guests or multi-generational living, along with two full bathrooms. Upstairs, you'll find additional space to spread out, including an open loft beaming with natural light, a game room with a soaring ceiling, a large third bedroom, and full bathroom. Whole home renovation and remodel took place in 2024. The kitchen was redesigned to actually be used and enjoyed, not just admired: quartz countertops, a large island that naturally becomes the gathering spot, two pantries and stainless-steel appliances all framed by large windows and beautiful views. LED lighting and ceiling fans throughout the home keep things bright, efficient, and comfortable. One of the standout everyday luxuries is the oversized laundry room, complete with folding counter, sink, and even a built-in dog wash station (because muddy paws happen). The main level flex room is perfect for a home office, craft room or pet playroom. Outside, the park-like lot gives you room to breathe, with natural views in every direction and direct access to the water, it's private without feeling isolated. The voluntary HOA and the option of joining a community pool with a swim team let you be a part of a great neighborhood without being smothered by fees. Location-wise, you're just minutes from outdoor gems like the top-rated Cary Parks and Trails, Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve, Raleigh's Vibrant Downtown, while still close to the energy of NC State University. If you've been looking for a home with space, personality, and a connection to nature, without sacrificing access to everything Cary and Raleigh have to offer, this amazing property is worth a closer look.

There's something wonderfully unexpected about this house. From the outside, its striking rooflines, dramatic angles and walls of glass make a bold architectural statement. But step inside, and what you notice first isn't the architecture at all. It's how good it feels to be here. Light, warm, open and remarkably peaceful. Like one long, lovely exhale. Built in 2020, this home was imagined by its owners with a refreshingly simple idea in mind: create a place to actually live. A house where form and function work together, where people can gather comfortably, find their own quiet corners, and feel connected to the natural world around them. Every decision seems to have been made with living in mind. Not just how the spaces would look, but how they would feel. Wide-plank white oak floors bring a quiet warmth to the interiors, while soaring ceilings and extraordinary expanses of glass invite the outdoors into nearly every room. The main living spaces are beautifully connected, with a generous kitchen, dining area and family room that feel open without losing their sense of intimacy. Spacious without feeling oversized, thoughtfully constructed and remarkably quiet, the house has a sense of comfort and ease that can be surprisingly elusive in modern architecture. And everywhere, there's light. Not just sunlight, but the softer, changing light that filters through the trees, moves across the floors and makes the house feel different throughout the day. Built into a gently sloping site above the fifth fairway, the house has a wonderful treehouse quality. From the kitchen sink, you look through the leaves toward the golf course below. From nearly every room, there's something to notice outside. Birds nesting, squirrels moving through the branches, the first signs of spring, rain falling through the trees. The owners say they never miss a full moon in this house. Once you've seen the windows, you understand why. And for all its openness, this house understands the pleasure of having somewhere to retreat. A cozy, book-lined snug with pocket doors offers a quieter alternative to the main living room, while a soaring screened porch extends the living spaces into the trees. A private guest suite completes the main floor. Upstairs, a floating staircase with thick white oak treads leads to a lovely, peaceful primary suite, where vaulted ceilings, soft carpeting and walls of glass create a space that feels both expansive and restful. Three additional bedrooms, two bathrooms and laundry center share the upper level. Downstairs, the mood shifts naturally toward gathering and play. An expansive recreation room and lounge, dining area and kitchenette create an entirely different place to spend time together, with a covered patio opening to the wooded landscape. A separate room with its own bathroom offers flexibility for working from home, exercise or extended guests. Even the landscape reflects the same thoughtful approach. Rather than imposing a formal backyard on the natural setting, the owners embraced the terrain, incorporating a meandering dry creek of tumbled stone that manages rainwater while becoming part of the landscape itself. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in The Oaks, one of Chapel Hill's most desirable established neighborhoods, this is a home that feels entirely its own. Modern without being austere, generous in scale without feeling overwhelming, and architecturally distinctive without ever asking you to admire it. It's a house meant to be lived in. Comfortably, joyfully, with room for a lot of life and an appreciation for the little things that make being home so wonderful.
