Luxury Chapel Hill Whole Home Renovation

For Patrick and Amy Poisson, finding their dream home in Governors Club was a journey years in the making. They were searching not just for a house, but for a lifestyle that reflected their values, aesthetic, and love for entertaining. As Michigan State alumni, they instantly felt connected to the college town of Chapel Hill. “To a guy who grew up in Northern Michigan, North Carolina, with its weather, culture, and access to the ocean and mountains, seemed like nirvana,” Patrick says. When the opportunity came to relocate to the Raleigh-Durham area, they took it.

They toured homes in Prestonwood, Chapel Ridge, and other Triangle neighborhoods before finding the right fit in Governors Club. The private golf course setting, scenic views, and close proximity to downtown Chapel Hill checked every box.

The home itself had potential, but it needed a full transformation. That’s where BOLD Construction came in. Patrick and Amy partnered with the team to complete a luxury whole home renovation that reimagined the layout, updated the finishes, and modernized the design from top to bottom.

Highlights of the renovation include:

• A fully remodeled kitchen with professional-grade appliances and a statement granite island

• Custom transitions from slate to hardwood floors

• A striking pivot front door and contemporary light fixtures

• Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and a refreshed fireplace in the living room

• A renovated lower level with a wet bar, pool table, and home theater

• A stylish guest suite with a private bath

• Seamless indoor-outdoor living with large windows and direct access to the pool area

The couple met with several contractors during the planning phase, but the name BOLD Construction came up again and again. “Being members of the club, we already knew BOLD had done a lot of high-end renovations in Governors Club,” Amy says. “After meeting Chris Ehrenfeld and Jason Dell, we knew we had found the right team.”

From start to finish, BOLD Construction brought their expertise, organization, and attention to detail to every aspect of the project. The result is a completely transformed home that feels brand new while honoring the original character.
