Architectural Gem by NC Modernist Gary Giles - First Time on the Market.

Nestled in one of Carrboro, NC's most desirable locations, this extraordinary, contemporary modernist home designed by renowned NC architect Gary Giles is a rare offering that perfectly balances architectural intention with natural beauty. Overlooking Bolin Forest, this residence is a work of art crafted with clean lines, natural materials, and an ever-present connection to the outdoors.

Making its market debut, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 2,605 square feet of finished space with dramatic views over Bolin Creek, A north-south solar exposure and strong east-west axis for the main floor corridor design, packs this home with living design. From the moment you step onto the property, the integration of landscape and architecture is undeniable. The home's orientation, wide overhanging eaves, arbored entry with glass foyer and and expansive windows reflect Giles' masterful use of light and geometry, drawing Bolin Creek's reflections indoors where you can watch the light dance off the leaves, wrapping the home in a glow throughout the day.

You'll catch your breath as you step Inside! The glass entry draws you in and further to the windows beyond in the living and family room with soaring ceilings and more floor-to-ceiling glass that transitions into skylights. The living space is anchored by an elegant, built-in low-height storage feature with a wide wood surface that runs East West along the main floor corridor. This layout maintains a sense of flow and openness while also allowing for separate, functional living spaces. It's ideal for entertaining too!

The primary suite offers a private sanctuary, set off from the main living areas by a 7-foot solid wood pocket door. Panoramic windows continue the connection to the forested landscape. Inside the suite, you'll find the primary bedroom, ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower, reading nook or desk space, dual walk-in closets, and a generous study or den, complete with separate outdoor access to a sanctuary like deck - a private multifunctional retreat.

Find more thoughtful unexpected features as you explore. A full size sliding glass door separates the foyer and corridor. On the second floor, a thoughtfully designed indoor plant space is elegantly integrated to bring greenery indoors year-round. The covered carport entry to the pantry, laundry, mudroom space includes room for freezer, washer and dryer together. A pocket window separates the dining room and kitchen, just to name a few. The unfinished daylight basement is full of possibilities—naturally lit with a long row of windows, walk-out ready, and a blank canvas for your vision.

Outdoor living is just as intentional. Two generous decks provide tranquil spots for entertaining, morning coffee, or simply enjoying the natural setting. A deck walkway bridges the two outdoor spaces, enhancing the home's sense of movement and connection with the landscape.

It took years to find this building site and it is an exceptional place. Overlooking the creek and forest, you can explore 50 miles of trails from your back yard, meander to downtown Carrboro. And with bike-able distance to UNC Chapel Hill, easy proximity to RDU, Duke, RTP, Durham, this location situated at the end of the last cul-de-sac of the community, is unrivaled.

106 Mill Rock Court Carrboro, North Carolina

3 Beds 3 Baths 2,605 SqFt 0.34 Acres

Here's a Southern Gem that doesn't come around often: a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath, 3,330 sf home in The Cedars, one of Carrboro's most beloved neighborhoods, where folks still borrow a cup of sugar, kids ride their bikes until the streetlights come on, and the neighbors actually know your name and not just your dog's. With walking trails, a pond, greenspaces, a community garden and gazebos, The Cedars builds in ways to foster community at every turn. And not only is it a walkable neighborhood, you can take the sidewalk all the way down to Main Street and enjoy the delights of downtown Carrboro.
Every detail of this one-owner, custom-built home, from the brick and flagstone walkway to the slate front porch and flagstone back patio, conveys that this is a home with heart. Transom windows expand the outside views, gorgeous pecan floors are aged to perfection, and custom-built redwood shutters hang in front of cedar siding. The owners were onsite daily during the home's construction; their deep knowledge (and photo documentation) are beyond the resources normally available to new owners. In a neighborhood with tight lot lines, the home is surrounded by HOA common space, offering wooded views in almost every direction.
The main level marries the timeless charm of traditional architecture with the ease of contemporary living. Separate but interconnected spaces flow effortlessly from one to the next. High ceilings, tall windows and wide entryways create an expansive feeling without sacrificing distinct living areas. A front room offers space for receiving guests or quiet contemplation. The open dining room is just right for weeknight dinners, Sunday suppers, or those big holiday feasts where someone always forgets the rolls. Warm wood cabinetry, glass front cabinets and handmade Italian tile backsplash elevate the kitchen: the default gathering spot in 21st century America. The island offers plenty of function: bar seating, a microwave nook, storage drawers and a built-in wine rack. Just off the kitchen, a pantry, powder room and side entry door offer privacy and convenience. The living room is spacious enough for the whole crew to pile in and gather 'round the fireplace to listen to your uncle tell that story for the 50th time (and sure, everyone rolls their eyes, but deep down, you wouldn't trade it for anything). This is a home for making memories and building traditions through the years.
French doors open off the living room onto a screened porch that's pure Southern comfort. With its rich wood ceiling and two ceiling fans, it's the perfect outdoor room to enjoy summertime meals, homemade lemonade and relaxed conversation. Just a few steps down, the fenced-in patio is surrounded by your own secret garden. Hostas, ferns and flowering shrubs are free to grow without regular pruning from the local deer. From here you can easily access the 2 car detached garage and a potting area just beyond the back gate.
Upstairs, the second floor offers two guest bedrooms with a shared bath, a laundry room with custom cabinets & a floor drain, and a grand owners' suite. More than just a bedroom, the peaceful retreat offers plenty of room for a king size bed, multiple dressers and even a reading nook. Indulge in the dual ensuite bathrooms because nothing says ''lasting love'' like not having to share a sink. One side offers a walk-in shower while the other boasts a deep soaking tub perfect for bubble baths and hiding from your responsibilities for just a little longer. No more arguing over towel hooks, counter clutter, or mirror time, this setup is the secret to a happy life.
And just when you think this home couldn't possibly offer more, you'll find bonus space galore on the third floor. Use it for a yoga studio, romper room, movie lounge, art studio, bedroom or all of the above: with almost 700sf of living space, there's plenty to go around.
