Property Description

Wake up with the birds, end the day beneath the trees, and explore miles and miles of Duke Forest trails without getting in your car. At 4609 Moores Creek Road, nature isn't something you drive somewhere to visit--it's part of everyday life. Set on a quiet street just 3 miles from Duke University and Duke Hospital, this stately brick home sits on a level .37-acre lot that backs up to Duke Forest. The brand-new deck offers a front-row seat for birds, deer, changing leaves, and whatever other woodland neighbors decide to stop by. Lace up your shoes and walk from your front door to miles of forest trails--or stay home, pour a drink, and let the backyard wildlife provide the entertainment. Inside, 3,223 square feet gives everyone room to spread out. There are 5 bedrooms, including one on the main level, 3 full baths, and a bonus room. The floor plan includes a family room with a gas-log fireplace, formal living and dining rooms, and a large kitchen with loads of counter space, a generous island, and a breakfast nook overlooking the greenery. Hardwood floors run upstairs and down--no carpet hiding anywhere--and fresh interior paint makes the home move-in ready. Still need more space? The unfinished third-floor walk-up attic offers major expansion potential. A two-car garage, 2020 roof, low-maintenance fiber-cement siding, rooftop solar panels, and a solar water heater complete the package. The low-HOA neighborhood allows pools--although with Duke Forest as your backyard playground, you may have trouble deciding whether to swim, hike, or simply sit on the deck and watch the birds.
