About This Property

Some homes have good bones. This one had a grand vision AND the premium luxury builder to bring it to life. Recognizing its extraordinary potential, Christopher Rand Construction purchased this Hope Valley property and spent a year thoughtfully renovating, remodeling, and expanding it into a home quite unlike any other.  A gracious circular driveway welcomes you to a white brick beauty worthy of the pages of Southern Living. Copper detailing, dove-gray shutters, and Marvin windows set the tone: timeless charm, exquisite craftsmanship, luxury materials, and every detail considered. Inside, Thermador appliances, Visual Comfort lighting, and solid hardwood floors throughout bring substance to the style, while a beautifully reimagined floor plan makes luxurious living feel wonderfully easy.  With a main level primary suite, four additional upstairs bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, an expansive bonus room, and two offices, there is room to gather, retreat, work, and play. A screened porch, grilling deck, and backyard deck invite you to settle into the privacy of nearly an acre: morning coffee, dinner with friends, and evenings that deserve to linger.  Traditional grace. Modern ease. A little everyday luxury. All in historic Hope Valley, where having your cake and eating it too looks an awful lot like coming home.
