How This Award-Winning Home Proves That Quality Always Wins

When exceptional architecture, expert craftsmanship, and strategic marketing come together, the results speak for themselves. A recent sale by BOLD Real Estate proves just that. Originally built by our sister company, BOLD Construction, this award-winning modern home in Chatham County generated major buzz the moment it hit the market, selling fast and for top dollar.

This wasn’t just any home. This was the 2022 George Matsumoto Prize winner, named Best Modern Home in North Carolina, located in Chatham County.

A Bold Build with Staying Power

Designed by ThoughtCraft Architecture and brought to life by BOLD Construction, this “modern minimal luxury ranch” tucked into Lystra Preserve was a design-driven collaboration from the start.

The homeowners wanted simplicity, symmetry, and connection—to nature, to movement, to the moment. Four pavilions (Living, Sleeping, Auto, and Recreation) linked by a central hallway dubbed “the ribbon” fulfilled that vision. Every detail was intentional, from the durable Shou Sugi Ban wood exterior to the calming, modern interiors designed to age gracefully.

When it hit the market, it sold on the opening weekend and had a tremendous amount of interest. Potential buyers were literally flying in from around the country to see this home. This proves a point we’ve known all along: people will pay for quality. And people want to move to the Triangle. 

A Case Study in Return on Investment

It’s no secret that a BOLD Construction-built home may come with a higher price tag. But we encourage clients to look beyond the initial number. Consider the home’s resale value. Consider its desirability. Consider this:

The original investment into this modern custom home paid off—big time.

The final sales price? Significantly higher than its original build cost. And why? Because homes like this—homes designed with intention and built with care—stand out. They attract attention. They demand a premium.

If You’re Thinking About Building…

Let this be your sign: a well-built, modern custom home isn’t just a lifestyle upgrade—it’s a smart investment.

Buyers are looking for homes that are beautiful, functional, energy-efficient, and future-ready. The demand for thoughtfully designed modern homes is only increasing—and BOLD Construction delivers.
