Designed by Kenneth Scott AIA, completed in 1961, this home was featured on the 2014 NC Modernist Homes Tour. The soaring great room with a west-facing wall of windows embraces the lush greenery and dappled light of this lovely wooded Duke Forest Lot. Large at-grade patio enables indoor/outdoor living & entertaining. Slate, hardwood & tile floors emphasize the sleek clean lines, while the warm tones of the brick bring a coziness to the space. Even the new master shower has tree-top views. Stunning.
