There’s a reason BOLD Construction-built homes command attention—and top dollar.
A recent sale by BOLD Real Estate of a custom home originally built by BOLD Construction proves that craftsmanship, smart design, and modern architecture don’t just look good—they sell fast and for more.
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.
And it just sold.
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.
From Vision to Value: A Case Study in Return on Investment
It’s no secret that a BOLD-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.
