This elegant kitchen transformation showcases the seamless collaboration between Rufty Homes and Southern Studio Interior Design. Nestled in Cary’s sought-after Renaissance at Regency Estates neighborhood, the remodel reflects a balance of timeless sophistication and modern functionality.

A curated selection of Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances elevates both form and performance, blending professional-grade innovation with a polished aesthetic. Thoughtful design details, custom finishes, and expert craftsmanship create a warm yet refined space tailored for both everyday living and memorable entertaining.

With Southern Studio’s design vision and Rufty Homes’ meticulous execution, this kitchen remodel is a testament to elevated living in one of Cary’s premier communities.

After retiring from her 35-year career in the Air Force, Colonel Slade moved back to her native North Carolina and built her first home in 2012. When she decided to sell that house nine years later and build a new forever home, her life changed in nearly an instant, and her plans for the build changed with it.

They interviewed local builders with us and once we met with Jon Rufty, it was clear that Rufty Homes was the only builder in the area that truly understood what we wanted and was capable of getting it done right,” the homeowners go on to say.  Read the full story here.

This idea of helping homeowners find creative solutions during the build process is set from the top down, starting with Jon Rufty, which was immediately apparent to our client.
