Tucked away on a tranquil one-acre lot, this exceptional modernist residence offers a serene retreat amidst nature. Endearingly referred to as 'The Tree House' by its owners, the home harmoniously blends architectural elegance with its wooded surroundings. Upon entry, expansive clerestory windows and skylights fill the space with abundant natural light. The living room features a soaring vaulted ceiling and a striking floor-to-ceiling stone hearth fireplace, complemented by oak wood floors and new plush carpeting. The open-concept kitchen and family room are designed for both functionality and comfort, equipped with a gas range, a generous center island, granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and an additional fireplace. Thoughtfully designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, this home also showcases two decks, one screened-in porch, each offering serene woodland views. A private driveway leads to this idyllic escape, ensuring both exclusivity and privacy. The primary suite offers a spacious retreat, featuring his-and-her granite vanities and sleek cabinetry. Skylights in both bathrooms enhance the sense of openness and tranquility. A gentle creek meanders through the backyard. The unfinished partial basement offers ample storage space. Located in a peaceful yet coveted neighborhood with nature trails galore, the property is just a five-minute drive from local conveniences, including Harris Teeter and other nearby stores, restaurants, and gas stations. Residents also have the option to join the Stoneridge Community, which grants access to amenities such as pools, tennis courts, clubhouse, and picnic areas. ''The Tree House'' is a celebration of timeless design and natural beauty. There is no HOA. The home has been well maintained, with a new roof installed in 2022, and both the HVAC and furnace replaced in 2018. The property has well water, with Culligan Water Treatment System replaced in 2024, and a Septic System, last pumped in 2025. Scott Korbin Team. The current owners have never had flood insurance, and contrary to inaccurate Environmental Factors on this listing, there have never been any flooding issues on the property.

RB
Rural Buffer District
The purpose of the Rural Buffer (RB) District is to provide locations for rural residential developments and agricultural, silvicultural or horticultural uses which serve to buffer or separate more intensively planned and/or developed portions of Orange County. Development within the Rural Buffer (RB) District is at very low densities (the minimum lot size per dwelling unit is two acres) and relies on individual wells and ground absorption systems for domestic water supply and sewage disposal, respectively.
