Overview

Some homes are simply updated, and others are carefully curated over time. 5219 Pelham is unmistakably the latter. If you're seeking something intentional, character-filled, and far from cookie-cutter, this home stands apart. Tucked among the trees overlooking Parkwood Lake, this home offers an extremely unique combination of natural beauty and thoughtful renovations executed with both form and function in mind. Peaceful water views will make you feel worlds away, while the home itself balances storied charm with modern sophistication. This rare find offers both the tranquility of your own personal paradise and convenience to explore the best of the Triangle, just minutes from RTP, Southpoint, Duke, and UNC. Over time, nearly every surface of the home has been thoughtfully renovated. Elevated and inviting living spaces feature remodeled bathrooms, refreshed kitchen finishes and opened layout with CAFÉ premium refrigerator, wine fridge and gas range, refinished and new first-floor hardwoods (2020), extensive custom molding and millwork, updated lighting and custom closets throughout, and a cozy two-way fireplace added to the primary suite (2020). A spacious triple-deck addition (2020) extends the living experience outdoors—perfect for relaxing with lake views or hosting memorable gatherings over the built-in Lion gas grill. Spend your time enjoying the outdoors instead of maintaining it, with premium Consentino countertops, Azek decking and weather-ready Chippendale railing systems throughout three upper and lower decks. Behind the scenes, key upgrades provide peace of mind, including crawlspace encapsulation with French drain and pump (2015), new driveway (2020), a new heat pump (2022), and water heater (2022). A standout feature is the recently added two-car garage...far more than just parking. Designed with intention, it includes an exceptional custom workshop space, built-in mudroom storage, and a professionally finished floor backed by a transferable 21-year warranty (2020). Two rear enclosed storage rooms only add to its versatility. With picturesque views, abundant storage, and countless thoughtful updates, this is more than a home; it's an everyday retreat.
