2026 Parade Of Homes Entry! Welcome to the newest Forest Hills luxury home from Durham's own Edgekraft Homes. Come add some of your own customization as the builder is offering some add-ons like window treatment, outdoor TV's, or custom built garage storage with an acceptable offer. If there were only one word to describe this beautiful home, it would be: moody. You can feel the personality from the moment you set eyes on the uplight landscaping, all the way to the deer antler chandelier in the office. The first-floor primary suite features a spacious bedroom filled with natural light, a California Closets-inspired custom closet, and a massive zero-entry shower with four showerheads. It's a space you truly need to experience in person. Throughout the first floor, 10-foot ceilings, 8-foot doors, and extra-wide doorways give the home an open, airy feel. The kitchen features luxury Monogram appliances, including separate refrigerator and freezer columns that provide an impressive amount of cold-storage space. Outside, you'll find a fully fenced backyard and a pergola-covered paver patio wired for a TV. The yard is simply too large—and too beautifully landscaped—not to have a feature that draws you outside. Enjoy an outdoor movie night with friends or family whenever you'd like, right in your own backyard. Upstairs, a huge loft provides another easy entertainment space, along with three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Bedroom four has its own private bathroom, allowing it to function beautifully as a guest or in-law suite. Every upstairs bedroom includes a ceiling fan and luxury carpet installed over memory-foam padding. You may actually want to take your shoes off for this one—the carpet feels remarkably cloud-like underfoot. Pull down the attic ladder and you'll discover a massive amount of floored storage space.
