1222 Duplin Road

There are places in the world so beautiful they suspend time: a quiet chapel bathed in light, a cliff meeting the sea, a masterpiece that stirs something unnamed inside you. This modern Spanish Revival belongs to that rare company. It doesn't just invite you in — it sweeps you up in its beauty.
Faithful to its Spanish Revival spirit, the home is grounded in natural materials, with the kitchen as its centerpiece. A symphony of stone and wood comes to life here: thick soapstone slabs rest atop rich cerused oak cabinetry, with honed Perla marble underfoot. Above, cedar v-groove ceilings, accentuated by exposed wood beams, unite the kitchen and dining areas.
Beyond the kitchen, the family room is anchored by a hand-cast limestone fireplace surround and framed by towering 9-foot windows and doors that open to a sublime covered patio, blanketed in the same Perla stone gracing the kitchen. With a fluid connection from the owner's suite and dining room, it's woven into the rhythm of everyday life.
As Dixon/Kirby's first market home in six years, 1222 Duplin stands apart. Not because it's different, nor simply because it's exceptionally constructed. It stands apart because, as with each of the properties they've designed and built over the last three decades, it's more than just a house. It's a living, breathing work of art — inspiring, timeless, and meant to be inhabited.©
