711 BERRYHILL DR, Chapel Hill, NC 27516 - Orange County

Designed with modern luxury and livability in mind, this striking 3-bedroom, 5-bath residence offers four levels of contemporary elegance. Barely lived in, this mindful retreat is set on more than two wooded acres just minutes from Chapel Hill and Carrboro. A dramatic mahogany pivot door opens to a gallery-like reception hall with lounge seating and a fully appointed catering kitchen, perfect for entertaining. The architectural stair ascends to the main living level where gallery-sized walls are anchored by an open floor plan and chef's kitchen featuring a Sub-Zero refrigerator, freezer, Wolf double ovens, warming drawer, induction cooktop, Cove dishwasher, and microwave drawer. Vast panes of glass frame views of the expansive deck, where a modern fire table anchors multiple seating and dining areas, seamlessly blurring the boundaries between indoors and out. The top floor primary suite lives like a penthouse retreat with oversized glass sliders that open to a private terrace and a sleek 48-inch linear gas fireplace, creating a dramatic year-round setting for outdoor living. A spa-inspired bath, automated Lutron blinds, and abundant closet space complete this personal retreat. One floor below offers two bedrooms, two full baths, a generous office, and a flex space for yoga, fitness, or creative pursuits. Additional highlights include a five-seat hot tub for hydrotherapy under the stars, humidity-controlled HVAC for healthy indoor air, integrated Sonos audio, and Clear Technologies smart-home systems. Exterior walls of locally sourced North Carolina black brick and thermally modified pine, finished in the Shou Sugi Ban tradition, ensure enduring beauty with minimal maintenance. A rare opportunity to own a design by Phil Szostak, FAIA an award-winning architect whose homes seldom come to market.
