Property Description

This home features one of the best main floor arrangements of space we have seen in a long time and the home is ready for a new owner to skillfully apply their custom touches to make it the showcase property of their dreams. You'll find a wide-open living area combining Living, Dining, Kitchen, and Breakfast Room with a bank of windows overlooking a spacious wooded backyard that includes a connection to Bolin Creek and an easy connection to the walking trail that runs from Carrboro to the Community Center. Hardwood floors will be found throughout the main floor with ceramic tile in the baths and laundry room. The main floor includes a spacious study and a second bedroom with ensuite bath. Rooms are large and the 9' and 11' ceilings create an invigorating feeling. There is an elevator connecting the main floor to the lower level plus a flight of stairs. On the lower level there are three bedrooms, two baths plus a central recreation room. In addition, there are several unfinished areas suitable for workshops, hobbies and storage. The poured concrete foundation demonstrates the quality of the construction and there is a backup generator, dual furnace and AC units plus irrigation, underground accent lighting and security system. There is a need to repair and renovate though many of the improvements needed will be easy. We have some ideas about an expansion of the primary bath, so feel free to give us a call to discuss some ideas. Updates include one new AC unit in 2013, two new high efficiency furnaces in 2022, new water heater 2024, new roof 2019, new deck in 2019. The neighborhood is in a super location near the center of town and campus and the overall feel of the neighborhood is what you'd expect from this beautifully designed and maintained community.
