The kitchen is built around how people actually use a kitchen: large island, quartz countertops, all-wood soft-close cabinets with glass-front uppers, and pendant lighting that flows right into the living area.

It's a space that works whether you're cooking for yourself or hosting a crowd. Behind that, the bones of the home hold up just as well. A 22-SEER ducted mini-split, sealed conditioned crawlspace, and natural gas tankless water heater keep comfort high and utility bills reasonable.

Low maintenance exterior, 40-year dimensional roof, and waterproof LVP throughout give you peace of mind without the punchlist. A covered front porch, rear deck, and fenced yard round out the package. Minutes from downtown Durham, easy on the highway, quick to RTP. Come see it in person.
