Governors Club has long been one of the Triangle’s most prestigious luxury communities, renowned for its stately homes, championship golf course, and exclusive gated setting. Over the years, the community has evolved to reflect shifts in architectural preferences, ensuring it remains a sought-after destination for discerning buyers. One of the most significant transformations in recent years has been the increased demand for modern or contemporary homes—residences that blend cutting-edge design with the comfort, efficiency, and livability that today’s homeowners prioritize.
Modern Homes Are Setting New Price Records
Luxury real estate trends have seen a strong movement toward Modern Architecture, and Governors Club is no exception. Two of the three highest priced re-sale homes in Governors Club were contemporary estates built by BOLD Construction. These sales set a new benchmark for high-end living within the community.
"10+ years ago, modern homes were difficult to sell. Now, the trend has reversed and modern homes are highest in demand and sell at a premium. The influx of West Coast buyers and many buyers who have lived all over the world want modern,“ said Jill Ehrenfeld, REALTOR with Governors Club Realty.
This trend extends beyond Governors Club, as luxury buyers across the Triangle increasingly seek sleek, contemporary designs that maximize natural light, emphasize open-concept layouts, and integrate the latest in smart home technology.
Growing Demand for Modern Homes in Governors Club
1. Buyers Are Seeking Contemporary Luxury
Today’s high-end buyers value homes that offer both sophistication and functionality. Modern Architecture delivers on this demand, offering expansive glass walls, open floor plans, and seamless indoor-outdoor connections. These design elements not only enhance livability but also create a striking aesthetic that appeals to new and the existing generation of luxury homeowners.
2. Premium Pricing Is Driving Up Property Values
As modern homes command top dollar, they establish higher benchmarks for real estate in the Governors Club. With record-setting sales, these properties contribute to rising property values across the neighborhood, benefiting all homeowners. A thriving market with strong demand ensures that Governors Club remains a premier destination for luxury living.
3. A Competitive Edge in the Triangle’s Luxury Market
Governors Club has long been a prestigious address, and the continued demand for contemporary homes ensures it remains at the forefront of the Triangle’s high-end real estate market. Buyers who prioritize architectural innovation are drawn to neighborhoods that offer modern options, keeping Governors Club highly competitive with other luxury communities in North Carolina.
4. Homeowners Are Investing in Modern Updates
With modern homes setting new price points, many existing homeowners are choosing to renovate their properties to align with current market trends. This reinvestment not only enhances individual home values but also elevates the overall appeal of the neighborhood.
Jason Dell, a Governors Club resident and co-owner of BOLD Construction, has seen this transformation firsthand:
“We continue to see demand for more modern homes. These home sales are helping increase the overall property values in our community. As a result, we see many residents spending considerable money updating their homes with modern designs and finishes. Our renovation business in Governors Club continues to increase significantly.”
A Legacy of Luxury, Enhanced by Modern Design
The introduction of contemporary homes in Governors Club is not a departure from its character—it’s an evolution that enhances its standing as one of the Triangle’s most prestigious communities. The demand for Modern Architecture reflects a broader shift in luxury real estate, ensuring that Governors Club remains both timeless and forward-thinking.

As the market evolves, the community’s ability to adapt ensures that property values will continue to rise. Governors Club’s reputation as a premier destination will remain strong for years to come.
