Durham, NC 27707Rare Single-Story Ranch | Hope Valley Country Club. Few addresses carry the quiet prestige of Hope Valley Country Club and fewer still offer the ease of refined one-level living on nearly half an acre, just moments from the Donald Ross-designed golf course and historic clubhouse. Originally built in 1955 and thoughtfully reimagined in 2008, this exceptional ranch blends timeless character with elevated modern comfort across over 3,550 sq ft. At the center of the home, a chef's kitchen designed for gathering and celebration features dual cooking stations with a DCS 6-burner gas range and electric range, indoor gas grill, Dacor warming drawer, Fisher & Paykel double-drawer dishwasher, walk-in pantry, and an oversized island with seating for six. The cathedral-ceilinged family room with gas fireplace opens through glass sliders to a courtyard deck and screened porch, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living. The primary suite feels tucked away in its own private wing with wooded views, a custom walk-in closet, BainUltra air-jet soaking tub, and zero-entry Hansgrohe rain shower. Outside, professionally landscaped grounds, magnolia trees, and landscape lighting create a setting that feels intimate and unforgettable. A Generac whole-house generator, Rinnai tankless water heater, 3-zone Trane HVAC, rainwater cistern, central vacuum, and Polyurea-coated garage floor with utility sink provide exceptional comfort and peace of mind. One level. One of a kind.
