This is a 5000-square foot home on 13 acres on a gated, private road in Hillsborough NC. It has 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, a large kitchen/dining/living area, adjoining decks on the main level, a family room and an office. It includes a secret loft above the Master Bedroom, a special screened deck off of the main level living room, large windows that show off the beautiful woods, green elements, and cutting-edge design. Jay Williams of Empyrean was on hand to answer questions about the house, built in 2007.
