About this home
Iconic Mid-Century Modern Masterpiece by Renowned Architect Jon Andre Condoret (1972)
A true modernist's dream, this stunning 1972 residence-designed by celebrated French-American architect Jon Andre Condoret (1934-2010)-showcases nearly 3,400 sq ft of authentic mid-century details infused with European sensibility and passive solar principles. Still cherished and held in the original owner's family, this rare, untouched gem offers an extraordinary opportunity to steward a pristine piece of architectural history.
The outdoor living experience is further enhanced by an in-ground swimming pool with surrounding patio, thoughtfully positioned to complement the home's modernist lines while offering a private retreat for relaxation and entertaining amid the natural setting.
Nestled on a private, wooded 1+ acre corner lot in the serene Emorywoods Estates neighborhood of Durham, NC, this elegant landmark seamlessly blends indoor living with the natural world through expansive glazing, clean lines, surprising textures, and thoughtful site integration.
At its heart lies a dramatic sunken modernist conversation pit, the ultimate mid-century gathering space, offering intimate seating and breathtaking 180-degree views of the surrounding wooded landscape-perfect for cozy evenings or lively entertaining.
Featuring 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and generous living spaces bathed in natural light, this prized Condoret design stands alongside works by North Carolina modernist legends like Harwell Hamilton Harris and George Matsumoto. Known for his striking homes across Chapel Hill, Chatham County, and as senior architect for Fearrington Village, Condoret's legacy continues through his daughter, acclaimed Chapel Hill architect Arielle Schechter.
Ready for your visionary updates, this timeless treasure awaits the perfect buyer to revive and personalize its iconic charm while honoring its preserved architectural soul. An exceptional find for discerning modernists seeking privacy, provenance, and unparalleled potential in one of Durham's most desirable settings....
