Property Description

Nestled within the highly sought-after The Preserve at Jordan Lake, home to the award-winning Davis Love III Signature Golf Course, this beautifully updated residence offers the perfect blend of elevated design, thoughtful upgrades, and an unmatched lifestyle.
From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the level front yard and strong curb appeal, complemented by a three-car garage configuration featuring a two-car bay and a separate single bay--ideal for additional storage, a golf cart, or workshop space.
Inside, the home has been meticulously refreshed with refinished hardwood floors and fresh interior paint throughout, creating a light-filled, move-in ready experience. The thoughtfully designed main level features two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite, offering the ease and flexibility of main-level living that today's buyers demand.
The home lives beautifully both inside and out. A newly constructed side porch with stair access to the yard enhances everyday living and entertaining, while extensive exterior improvements--including irrigation in the front and back, professional drainage solutions, a custom refuse area, and leaf gutter guards--ensure both functionality and low-maintenance ownership.
This home is not only beautiful--it's intelligently upgraded. Enjoy long-term savings and efficiency with fully paid solar panels, a tankless water heater, and reverse osmosis filtration at both the kitchen sink and refrigerator. Average electric bill of $27.00 per month! Additional comfort and peace of mind come from installed blinds and ceiling fans throughout, an active termite bond, and a proactive HVAC service agreement (most recently serviced October 2025)--allowing the next owner to step in with confidence.
Upstairs, you'll find flexible living space along with generous walk-in attic storage, while the home's true opportunity lies below. The walk-out lower level offers over 2,000 square feet of unfinished space, providing a rare opportunity to design and create a custom gym, theater, guest suite, or additional living quarters tailored to your vision.
Beyond the home, The Preserve delivers a lifestyle that is second to none. Residents enjoy resort-style amenities included in the HOA, featuring a pool, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball courts, fitness center, playground, walking trails, and a private owner's clubhouse--all set within one of the Triangle's most picturesque golf course communities.
Located in Chatham County with low property taxes, yet just minutes to Chapel Hill, UNC, Chatham Park, Apex, Cary, and RDU, this home offers the perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility.
81 Golden Heather is more than a home--it's a lifestyle, a retreat, and a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully upgraded property in one of the Triangle's premier communities. Experience this gorgeous property now: https://bit.ly/81GoldenHeather
