On a corner in historic Cleveland-Holloway, with the Durham skyline in view, sits a residence that redefines what a modern home can be within an old neighborhood. Designed by Tina Govan, AIA, in collaboration with ThoughtCraft Architects, and crafted by Bob Wuopio of Form Design Build, this 3,558 sq ft home earned an AIA Triangle Honor Award and the Durham Appearance Golden Leaf Award in 2019. It has also been celebrated on both the NC Modernist Houses Modapalooza Tour and the AIA Residential Tour. The architecture holds two worlds in balance. Facing the street, a deep front porch continues the neighborhood's long tradition of porch life. Quad-opening glass doors on both sides of the living space open the interior to the outdoors, so that walls give way to open air. To the rear, the home turns inward toward a private courtyard, a quiet oasis just minutes from DPAC and downtown Durham. Thermally modified wood slats weave through the siding, railings, fencing, and trellises, binding house and landscape into a single composition. As the sun moves across the sky, they cast a shifting play of light and shadow across every surface. The grounds, designed by landscape architect Laura Moore, were planned together with the architecture as one continuous design. Inside, natural materials are chosen with the same intentionality. Vaulted wood ceilings add warmth and volume, and sleek hidden storage gives everything its place. In the kitchen, custom veneered cabinetry pairs with a custom soapstone counter set beneath a bi-fold glass window that opens to the outdoors for effortless catering and entertaining. Sculptural light fixtures from the Noguchi Museum lend a soft, luminous presence throughout. An open office wrapped in maple slats brings warmth and rhythm to the workday. Tucked out of sight, a private media room offers a true retreat for a quiet evening in. On the main level, the owner's suite is a private oasis retreat with its own wraparound porch, a quiet place to start and end the day. Upstairs, a second suite opens to a walk-out balcony. The home's sustainability is built in rather than added on. A living green roof and a 12kW solar array reflect the same thoughtful approach that runs through the rest of the design. This is a rare offering: an award-winning work of contemporary architecture, moments from the culture, dining, and energy of downtown Durham.

The builder's former primary residence! Primary suite AND 2nd bedroom on the main, 4 full baths, a half-acre lot, and a waterfall quartz island that deserves its own dinner invitation. This home offers 4 bedrooms and 3,260 square feet in Durham's Southpoint area—approximately five minutes from shopping, restaurants, and your next favorite dinner spot. Inside, 10-foot ceilings and expansive windows let the light do the decorating. Hardwood floors carry you through open living spaces anchored by a fireplace, while the dining room brings its own personality: decorative wall paneling, a tray ceiling, and enough presence to make takeout feel like an occasion. The kitchen packs amazing quartz counters, soft-close cabinetry, an induction cooktop, wall oven, and a waterfall island that keeps cooking and conversation together. A large walk-in pantry handles the grocery haul; the spice cabinet beside the cooktop handles the finishing touches. Appliances convey. The main-floor primary suite makes a convincing case for calling it an early night: a generous walk-in closet, double sink vanity, a walk-in shower, and floor-to-ceiling bathroom tile. A second bedroom and full bath downstairs give guests their own landing spot or put your office steps from the coffee. Main-level laundry and drop zone near the 2-car garage keeps the practical stuff where it belongs. Upstairs gets its own territory: two bedrooms, two full baths, and a large bonus room for movie marathons, game nights, or spreading out. One bedroom pairs a private bath with an enormous walk-in closet. A large walk-in attic and additional storage mean the bonus room can stay a bonus room. Outside, .51 acres offer breathing room, a broad lawn, and a covered front porch. Arrival is through a gated entrance and driveway shared with neighboring 521 NC-54. Schedule your showing today!

New Construction! Primary suite AND 2nd bedroom on the main. Four full baths and over half an acre - approximately five minutes from the shopping, dining and entertainment at Streets at Southpoint. This new construction Durham home puts approximately 3,258 square feet of contemporary design near RTP and the Durham-Chapel Hill connection, with oversized windows and soaring ceilings with new furnishings and appliances that convey! Room to spread out. Less to unpack. More within reach. A wall of windows gives the vaulted living room its signature: daylight that reaches well beyond the glass. A sleek gas fireplace anchors the space, while the open kitchen keeps everyone connected. Pull up four seats to the waterfall-edge quartz island. Behind it, an induction cooktop, wall oven, stainless appliances and soft-close cabinetry make cooking as satisfying as the presentation. The herringbone backsplash climbs to the hood; the walk-in pantry swallows countertop clutter. Breakfast gets a window-lined nook. Dinner gets paneled walls and a statement chandelier. The main-level primary suite gives you room to exhale: vaulted ceilings, space for a sitting area and a dressing-room-style closet with built-in shelving. Its bath surrounds you with floor-to-ceiling marble-look tile, a frameless glass shower, dual vanities and anti-fog mirrors. Across the main floor, the second bedroom sits near another full bath. The laundry room with a sink and built-in drop zone puts everyday practicality exactly where it belongs near the 2 car garage. Upstairs, the approximately 19 × 20-foot bonus room can take the big screen, game table or sprawling sectional. Two additional bedrooms and two full baths include an ensuite bedroom with an approximately 10 × 13-foot walk-in closet. Two separate walk-in unfinished attic areas give storage bins and suitcases somewhere else to live. Outside, a covered front porch, two-car garage and broad backyard complete the picture. Arrival is through a gated entrance and driveway shared with neighboring 511 NC-54. Come for the windows. Stay for a floor plan that gives everyone breathing room. Schedule your showing today!
