This Ray of Sunshine puts the ''om'' in home. A modernist stunner by design firm SitzerSpuria featuring nearly 2 acres of extensive gardens with Japanese maples, irises, azaleas, yews, a bespoke play structure, multiple levels of decking and a peaceful roof terrace (just off the expansive whole-floor primary suite) with a view of it all. With 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and 3509 sf this home has room for all--and a copious amount of built-ins and custom cabinetry mean you can hide the realities of life away and indulge in your minimalist fantasies. Style for miles plus vintage lighting and doors, soaring ceilings and windows that set the stage to let the Rays in. Also several nooks just perfect to tuck into and flex spaces that make a home office, art library, or home gym all possible. And the cherry on top—this house sits in the sweet spot of county taxes with Chapel Hill/Carrboro Schools.
