Long & Foster® Real Estate, Inc., the largest independent residential real estate company in the United States and a leader in the sale of luxury properties, today announced it has listed, as part of its extensive number of current listings, a five-bedroom, eight-bath Georgian-style brick estate in the coveted subdivision of The Hills of Rosemont in Durham, N.C. The estate, located at 263 Perfect Moment Drive, is offered for $3.2 million and is listed by Richard Massong, a sales associate with Fonville Morisey, a Long & Foster company.

“This gorgeous Georgian-style brick estate was built by Tall House builders and offers old-style craftsmanship along with all of today’s comforts,” said Massong.

“The 10,289-square-foot home is beautifully set on just under five acres of pristine property that backs up to the American Tobacco Trail, which offers miles of walking paths. In addition, it has a wonderful slate roof that will last for generations, and such amenities as an elevator, four fireplaces, a 2,500-bottle wine cellar and an in-ground saltwater pool. No expense was spared to build this magnificent home and it cannot be duplicated for this price,” he added. 

Built in 2006, the home’s first floor features two 23’x16’ master bedroom suites, a large formal dining room, as well as a breakfast room, an eat-in gourmet kitchen, a grand foyer, an office, a 40’x23’ game room, a hearth room, and a utility room. The first floor also offers access to a 48’x14’ porch and an attached three-car garage.

Other features of the home include 9 and 10-foot ceilings, built-in bookshelves, a butler’s pantry, a central vacuum system, granite counter tops, a security system and a wet bar. The floors throughout the home feature a mix of carpet, hardwood, marble and tile.

The second floor includes three additional large bedrooms, a bonus room, walk-in closets, access to a floored attic and a second laundry room.

The home’s lower level features a finished basement, a fitness room, an in-law suite and a media room. The basement also includes access to a 65’x40’ patio surrounded by a meticulously-landscaped fenced yard that is accentuated by hardwood trees. A landscaped circular driveway welcomes guests at the front of the property.

“Estates such as this one receive global exposure through Long & Foster’s Extraordinary Properties program which spotlights them on the top luxury home websites, providing access to cooperating sales associates throughout the world, as well as affluent buyers,” said Gary Scott, president of Long & Foster® Real Estate Inc. “This worldwide exposure is possible through our exclusive affiliation with Christie’s International Real Estate and our affiliations with Luxury Portfolio International, Luxury Real Estate and Leading Real Estate Companies of The World.”
