Finding a modernist home in your price range can feel impossible but we have found two that are on the market right now for under 300,000. We will kick things off with one in Sanford that is move-in ready and then head to a fixer-upper in Durham that has the modernist aesthetic but is just in need of your personal touch.
For 15 days in December, we’ll be sharing some of our favorite services and fellow local businesses with our Hillman Real Estate Group at eXp Realty friends and family. You can get in on the action just by entering once.
As a boutique brokerage, our team approach to working with clients here at Hillman Real Estate Group at eXp Realty results in a well-managed, timely, and “as easy as humanly possible” transaction for you, our clients. But don’t just take our word for it… check out some of the reviews recently shared by our clients.
We set the goal high for our Fourth Annual Undies Drive benefitting our friends at Note in the Pocket, and you all hit it out of the park. We wanted to donate 4,000 pairs of undies and we were able to donate 5,714 pairs!
Did you know that water heaters are the second-highest source of energy usage in most homes? Heat pump water heaters can help you save energy and money every day, plus you can get a $350 rebate from Duke Energy Center when you install an ENERGY STAR® model.
Spooky season is here so we decided to do a little magic of our own. We found two amazing modernist homes that are completely different. There really is something out there for everyone and if you like the modernist look, we know where to look.
October 8, 2020 Update: Contingent

This 1980’s contemporary home was built by a former Oregonian who modeled it after one from the Pacific NW.

Each window is strategically placed to maximize natural light and treetop views. How much do you love this view from the family room?

We know how important home offices are right now and this home has two spaces that would work perfectly for just that!

We wouldn’t even mind doing the dishes here with that great view of the outdoors.

Entertaining is easy with the open floorplan and spacious dining room. Check out those windows!
The cutest nursery we have ever seen!
There is a screen porch, deck, and multiple balconies that make it a breeze to enjoy the outdoors anytime you would like.
A charming bridge traverses the babbling creek to an expansive backyard offering plenty of room for badminton, volleyball, and the family pets.
The home features two master bedrooms, two secondary bedrooms, three and a half baths, two options for home offices, and more. It is listed at $540,000 with Inhabit Real Estate. Is this type of modernist home exactly what you were looking for? Check out the listing for 3903 Darby Road here and then give us a call to get the process started: 919-877-6708.
Don’t stop reading if this house is not for you. There are lots of different types of modernist homes and we have something completely different we think you might like.

Ultra modern meets the perfect location in hot West Raleigh. Before we even get to the house, you will love being close to the NC State Fairgrounds, NC State University, 40, 440, and more.

Let’s start in the kitchen because those dark cabinets are giving us all the Halloween vibes and we love it!

Before we leave the kitchen, check out that glass wall at the stairwell!

There are site finished hardwoods throughout the entire house except for the bathrooms.

Speaking of bathrooms, we love how light and airy this room is.

Another adorable nursery. Each of the three bedrooms are very spacious.

Relax on the showstopping covered Trex deck with a wood-burning fireplace and wire rails.

Your four-legged friends will be happy when they see the fenced-in backyard that leads to a modern carport with storage and an alleyway.

Ready to drive-in? 230 Powell Drive is listed at $499,900 with Re/MAX United. View the listing here and then give us a call if you would like to schedule a showing: 919-877-6708. We would love to get you in your dream modernist home this season!

We’ve got exciting news to share… Hillman Real Estate Group Team Leader Renée Hillman is featured in the most recent issue of Triangle Real Producers Magazine! The monthly publication for top producing realtors in the Triangle featured Renée—along with Tina Caul, Sharon Evans, Marti Hampton, and April Stephens—for her role in eXp Realty, a cloud-based realty company established in 2009, now encompassing over 33,000 agents from around the country. Together, the five ladies make up the Freedom Builders network, one of eXp’s first teams of such high caliber.

Renée, Tina, Sharon, Marti, April have a total of 120 combined years of experience in the realty industry. Within the Freedom Builders network, they each contribute “their own unique skills and personalities for the greater good of agents around the state and country.”
In the article, the ladies describe the Freedom Builders network as, “a unified front. Instead of being competitors, we are collaborators under one brokerage with a financial incentive to grow the company and grow each other.” Renée is honored to be a part of such a wonderful, collaborative, and empowering group of females and can’t wait to see what exciting things the Freedom Builders and eXp Realty do next.
You know what they say, “teamwork makes the dream work”!
