Welcome to 226 Evington Drive, an extraordinary custom property set on 2.3 acres in Riverstone Estates, one of Chatham County`s most distinguished luxury communities, backing to protected North Carolina State Park land. This one-owner residence offers exceptional privacy, a serene natural backdrop and convenient access to Jordan Lake, Wake County, UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke and RDU International Airport. Originally built by Sadler Construction, the home makes a striking first impression with its timeless white-brick exterior, dark-framed windows and professionally designed grounds. Inside, 10-foot ceilings, site-finished white oak floors, white oak trim, extensive custom millwork, architectural arches, ceiling beams, specialty cabinetry and upgraded Emtek hardware reflect an extraordinary level of craftsmanship. Thoughtful universal-design features including wide passageways, zero-entry main-level living and garage access, accessible baths and planning for a future elevator allow the home to live beautifully through every season of life. At its heart, the chef`s kitchen showcases custom Harrison Vintson cabinetry, quartz countertops and backsplash, a full Thermador appliance package, XO wine refrigeration, integrated wine storage and a hand-finished plaster range hood designed to coordinate with the living room fireplace. A beautifully appointed butler`s pass-through and thoughtfully designed cabinetry make entertaining effortless. The living room is equally compelling, featuring a custom plaster fireplace, white oak built-ins, Dekton surfaces and integrated color-changing lighting. Oversized sliding doors reveal the home`s signature indoor-outdoor sightline, extending from the living room to the vaulted screened porch, where continuing ceiling beams and warm cedar detailing create a seamless architectural connection. Two bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level, including a private guest suite with its own exterior entrance and en suite bath, ideal for multigenerational living, extended-stay guests or an au pair. The primary suite features remote-controlled Lutron shades, custom built-ins and a spa-inspired bath wrapped in floor-to-ceiling marble tile. Remote-controlled Phantom screens open to a private resort-style backyard anchored by a 40-by-20-foot saltwater pool with a tanning ledge, approximately seven-foot depth and app-controlled lighting. Electrical infrastructure is already in place for a future pool heater. A white-brick outdoor gas fireplace, custom patio flooring, generous lounging areas and an upper-level Trex deck overlooking the pool provide exceptional spaces for gathering, entertaining and relaxing. Approximately $150,000 in professionally designed landscaping surrounds the residence with remarkable beauty. Bermuda grass, drip irrigation, extensive landscape lighting, mature ornamental trees and layered flowering gardens create the atmosphere of a secluded retreat. Iron fencing, a fully enclosed backyard and the protected wooded backdrop provide a degree of privacy rarely found this close to the Triangle`s major destinations. Additional highlights include a beautifully designed mudroom, an exceptionally appointed laundry room with an upstairs laundry chute, a playroom or flex space, professional-grade gym flooring, walk-in closets, abundant attic storage, a water softener, epoxy-finished garage floors, built-in garage storage, upgraded heavy-duty garage doors and electric-vehicle charging. 226 Evington Drive presents a rare opportunity to own a private Pittsboro luxury estate where architectural distinction, thoughtful accessibility, resort-caliber outdoor living and effortless Triangle connectivity come together.
