1105 Crested Jay Dr Durham, NC 27707

LIGHT-FILLED LIVING. THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED.
Positioned on a spacious fenced lot with solar panels and windows everywhere, this light-filled home was designed for the way people truly live today -- balancing connection, flexibility, comfort, and everyday functionality across 3,253 square feet of beautifully flowing space.
CONNECTED SPACES THAT LIVE BEAUTIFULLY
The open-concept kitchen, living room, and morning room create a seamless central gathering space while still offering distinct areas for relaxing, dining, entertaining, or working from home. Lyra Quartz countertops, white cabinetry, an oversized island, upgraded luxury vinyl plank flooring, oak hardwood stair treads, elevated trim details, and thoughtfully selected tilework add warmth and refinement throughout, while expansive windows and 10-foot main-level ceilings fill the space with natural light from morning to evening.
Intentional design selections continue throughout the home, including upgraded herringbone mosaic tilework in the kitchen backsplash and primary bath, recessed lighting throughout, upgraded fixtures, ceiling fans, and additional electrical enhancements designed to improve both functionality and everyday livability. Upstairs, 9-foot ceilings continue the home's open and airy feel, while the approximately 15-foot garage ceilings create exceptional vertical space and flexibility.
A PRIVATE RETREAT WITHIN THE HOME
The main-level office offers privacy while remaining connected to the heart of the home -- ideal for remote work, study, creativity, or quiet focus.
Upstairs, the third-floor loft retreat creates one of the home's most unique experiences. Accessed by a split stairway that naturally creates a sense of transition and calm, the loft feels tucked away from the activity below while still connected to the home itself. Whether used as a media room, reading lounge, fitness space, meditation retreat, playroom, or additional workspace, it offers the kind of flexibility buyers rarely realize they need until they experience it.
OUTDOOR LIVING WITH ROOM TO EVOLVE
Outside, the backyard feels equally intentional. The long central lawn naturally supports recreation, entertaining, sports, pets, or play, while additional side yard spaces create opportunities for gardening, outdoor seating, creative landscaping, or future personalization. Deck living, fenced privacy, and open possibilities combine to create an outdoor environment that feels both functional and full of potential.
