630 James Alexander Way, Davidson, NC

This 2013 custom residence occupies a quiet position within the walkable radius of Davidson College, offering a refined interpretation of the village lifestyle. The architecture prioritizes a main-level configuration, where a marble-clad kitchen and a primary suite anchor the 5,637-square-foot floor plan. With six bedrooms and six bathrooms, the interior volume is distributed across four finished levels, including a third-floor studio and a walkout lower level featuring a steam shower and recreation suite. Outside, the transition to the heated plunge pool is handled with thoughtful privacy. In the current Davidson submarket, inventory that balances significant square footage with genuine proximity to the historic downtown core remains exceptionally scarce, as most larger estates are situated on the periphery of the town limits. This property represents a rare confluence of substantial modern scale and immediate pedestrian access to the community’s central boutiques and dining. Private viewings may be coordinated through Peters & Associates.
