841 Dunleigh Drive

Custom-built lakefront living in prestigious Waterford where craftsmanship, scale and setting come together. Situated on .42 acres, this almost 4,500 sq ft home was designed with the lake in view and custom details at nearly every turn. Drive up to the brick paver circular drive and through the mahogany entry and the character begins immediately with hardwood floors throughout, detailed ceilings, extensive millwork and thoughtfully placed windows that bring the outdoors in. At the heart of the home, the impressive family room rises around a 20-foot stone masonry fireplace beneath vaulted timber framing and a tongue-and-groove ceiling. French doors open to the covered rear porch, extending the living space toward the lake. The kitchen pairs custom cherry cabinetry and granite with Sub-Zero, Wolf, Dacor and Bosch appliances, a large island and walk-in pantry, while the adjoining breakfast area captures the lake through full- length windows. The main-level primary suite continues the view and features an oversized custom closet and a richly tiled bath with a Kohler Bubble Massage tub and an expansive multi-head shower. An office with a coffered ceiling and unique cork wallpaper, sunroom, additional bedrooms with Jack-and-Jill bath, upstairs suite and large bonus room provide exceptional flexibility. Even the garage reflects the home's attention to detail with mahogany doors, tongue-and-groove pine walls and ceiling, custom cabinetry, acid-stained concrete flooring and a separate HVAC. Outside, brick paver patios and a covered porch with a stone fireplace plus a gazebo create multiple places to enjoy the waterfront setting. Extensive floored attic storage, sealed crawlspace and six HVAC comfort zones plus a generator add function behind the beauty. A home whose custom construction is evident not in one standout feature but in the details throughout. Conveniently located close to I-85/40, shopping and Elon University.
