"STATS\n\n 4 BEDROOMS\n\n 4 BATHROOMS\n\n 1 HALF BATH\n\n 6,000 SQ. FT.\n\n $1.95 MILLION\n\nEvery town has a grand old house that has been in the same family for years, and in Hope Valley, a Durham, North Carolina, golf community founded in the 1920s, it is a graceful Colonial Revival\u2013style home commissioned by a construction magnate named Hubert Teer in 1932 and designed by Durham architect George Watts Carr.\n\nPinterestFacebookA formal living room is connected to a light-filled family room, both of which have fireplaces.\n\nTeer and his wife raised a family in the house. When he died, his daughter, the current owner, moved back in with her family, and they have resided there ever since. Extensive remodeling in 1997 modernized the entire structure and added a breakfast area and sitting room adjacent to the light-filled kitchen.\n\nThe home has many welcoming details, including a towering plantation-style porch with six box columns and a Georgian-style entry with side lights and Palladian window that illuminate a sweeping main staircase.\n\nPinterestFacebookThe main stairway has a sinuous carved-wood banister atop white balusters.\n\nUpstairs, the master bedroom has two en suite bathrooms and a private wood-paneled study. Two other bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom. A fourth bedroom has an en suite bathroom, a large storage area, and access to a back stairway. On the third floor, an approximately 1,000-square-foot unheated attic with heart pine floors has served as a children\u2019s playroom for years.\n\nThe house sits on 1.7 acres and looks out on a golf course by Donald Ross, who designed some of the most iconic courses in the United States, including Pinehurst No. 2, also in North Carolina. A lighted redbrick driveway leads to a circular turnaround at the rear entryway.\n\nPinterestFacebookA six-foot-tall children\u2019s playhouse\u2014an exact replica of the home\u2014was a Christmas gift to the current owner when she was five years old.\n\nContact: Coldwell Banker, 919-604-0578; 2825chelsea.com\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
