Walls of floor-to-ceiling windows shower the interior with tons of natural light. The open-concept design lends itself to a pleasing flow and sense of continuity throughout the main-level living spaces. The upstairs features three spacious bedrooms along with exterior balconies for fun and relaxing outdoor moments. This home with its Japanese influences and integration of indoor and outdoor spaces helps create harmony with its natural surroundings. Located only a few miles north of Downtown Hillsborough, the property offers easy access to both Duke and UNC."
