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.
