Property Description
Resplendent Ridgewood On Golden Pond. This happy hideaway, on approximately four acres of wooded wonderland, is a peaceful, pastoral drive less than ten minutes to downtown Carrboro and Chapel Hill. What could be better? Pond therapy enjoyed from an impeccably designed and renovated passive solar home defined by airy modern lines. With cool and relevant architecture by locally revered architect Giles Blunden, this 1980 abode was stylishly updated in 2022-2023. The result is a dynamic and current cohesion between the exterior, interior, and natural environment. At once low-key and luxurious, dark cedar siding; a silver metal roof; zen walled-entrance courtyard; soaring ceilings; tiled and wood-paneled walls; artful abundant windows including clerestory and sliding glass; and the streamlined wood and metal staircase are hallmark architectural features of the smart design. The 2022-2023 roster of alterations, crafted with keen attention to detail, include a complete overhaul of the interior featuring a sophisticated palette of fine materials inspiring a light and bright ambiance. Soft, clean, and bold neutrals like blonde hardwoods and pine; custom kitchen cabinetry; Storm Gold quartz kitchen countertops with waterfall; stainless appliances and custom hood; sleek ceramic tile baths; statement designer lighting; crisp white walls; a lively metallic mix of bath fittings; and warm-wood furniture-style cabinets are as youthful and enduring as a fresh breeze. The open kitchen, dining, and great room flowing onto the screen porch and deck overlooking the winsome water elevate everyday living. One-level living is possible with the main level primary suite opening onto a private partially covered terrace with pond view. Spacious upstairs living spaces invite flexibility with panache. The recreation room offers second level and separate stair from the garage access. Welcome to the hottest dining scene in town - counter culture in the kitchen, the dining room's lofty heights or out-and-out tranquility alfresco on the deck or screen porch. Then venture down to the pond-side fire pit for after-dinner conversation, spirits, and s'mores. Only a couple years old: shingle roof, screened porch, deck, HVAC, wiring, plumbing, water heater, doors, windows, all new kitchen and bathrooms, lighting, septic tank, well pump, and dock. The prevailing mood is calm, cultivated and simply sublime. Rah-rah for Ridgewood.
