It’s our first “Modernist Home of the Month,” so we decided to go big. We are setting the bar high for 2021… even if only in our “dream home” plans! Take a look around 912 Williamson Drive in Raleigh, NC.
Finding a modernist home in your price range can feel impossible but we have found two that are on the market right now for under 300,000. We will kick things off with one in Sanford that is move-in ready and then head to a fixer-upper in Durham that has the modernist aesthetic but is just in need of your personal touch.
Spooky season is here so we decided to do a little magic of our own. We found two amazing modernist homes that are completely different. There really is something out there for everyone and if you like the modernist look, we know where to look.

TBJ reporter David Purtell shares with readers a breakdown of Triangle-area housing market stats that honed in exclusively on the luxury category – a space where HREG Team Leader Renee Hillman is expertly positioned to support your buying and selling efforts.
Spring is here and you were planning on buying your dream home – then the unimaginable happened and a global pandemic crisis hit. Across the country, people are told to follow public health orders to stay at home or to practice social distancing. For buyers in the Triangle area, that means you might not have the opportunity to walk through a home with your agent or your agent might not be able to show homes in person.
If you’re a fan of modernist architecture, North Carolina is the place to be! Here, you’ll find the third largest concentration of modern homes.

As you relax in the living room, you will notice the “inside/outside” feel where the landscape just becomes part of the house.
Before we head upstairs, we have to stop in the kitchen that features state-of-the-art appliances and gorgeous views of the inside and outside of the home. It is so luxurious, you may not mind doing the dishes. 😉

There are three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one half-bathroom.
The master closet is really one-of-a-kind!
