Durham-based EdgeKraft Homes believes luxury shouldn't come with a workout. This new-construction, single-family attached home lets you park right at your front door and walk straight into soaring ceilings, chef-grade finishes, and a private outdoor retreat; all in walkable Old West Durham. If spending time outdoors is your idea of a good time, you'll love the three-panel glass sliders connecting the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen spaces to the screened porch and backyard. Fenced for privacy and built for entertaining, the backyard comes ready for the next gathering: a full outdoor kitchen with a gas grill, a pergola for just the right amount of shade, and turf that's as easy on the feet as it is to maintain. The screened porch has tile flooring and is pre-wired for a patio heater, so taking the chill off on a cool evening watching the game is no problem. It's also wired for the biggest flat screen you can find. And storage is everywhere in this home; right off the porch, you'll find space to stash the bikes and the rest of your sports gear, so gear-up and get-out is never a hassle. Inside, 10-foot ceilings give the home an immediate sense of volume, and a tongue-and-groove tray ceiling in the family room takes it up another foot. Upstairs, 9-foot ceilings keep things feeling open and airy. Just inside the front door, built-in cabinetry gives coats, bags, and the everyday clutter a place to disappear; out of sight, but still within reach. The living room centers on a stone, natural-gas fireplace that delivers instant cozy at the flick of a switch. The kitchen is the heart of the home. There's so much cabinet space you're sure to misplace the things you don't use everyday. A long run of cabinetry under a bank of north-facing windows doubles as a built-in coffee station, complete with its own filtration system, and still leaves enough counter space to finally take up baking and use that French rolling pin you bought in Paris a decade ago. The modern farmhouse sink adds a touch of nostalgia, and the pantry has room for everything, including a spot to hide the microwave. The Cafe appliance package will have you feeling like your favorite TV chef in no time with the 48" paneled fridge and a gas range for precise baking and total control while cooking...Bon Appétit. The powder room's alligator-print tile wall is bound to get a comment every time a guest borrows the loo. The first floor primary suite bathroom includes a double vanity with linen tower, a private water closet, a zero-entry shower with dual shower heads and LED-lit niches, and tile that might have you wondering if you're at the Four Seasons. The primary bedroom walls are finished in Romabio Mineral Wash Paint for a subtle touch of luxury. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms each come with their own bathroom. The loft includes a beverage fridge and a built-in entertainment wall. The systems are just as thoughtfully incorporated: a Trane HVAC system, spray foam insulation in the attic, and Ecobee thermostats help keep energy bills low. Add a tankless water heater and Cat 6A wiring throughout, and this home is as smart and efficient as it is stylish. At EdgeKraft Homes, we've thought of everything, right down to the coffee filtration system and storage, so all you have to do is move in and enjoy. Think of it like your favorite vacation, minus the 11am checkout.
