Property Description

**OFFER DEADLINE Sunday 4/26 at 2:00pm.**At the end of this winding storybook lane, your enchanting new home awaits-peaceful, private, with gorgeous south-facing views of garden and woodland from every room. Green passive solar home with the perfect versatile floor plan. The primary bedroom suite and extra bedroom + bathroom are on the main floor. Upstairs, a 3rd bedroom feels like a treehouse. And the daylit basement offers direct access outside, large windows, generous bedroom/flex space, full bathroom, laundry, and workshop space. Painstakingly cared for by the original owner, this well-built gem has 6'' walls, metal roof, infrastructure in place for radiant floor heating in the newly refinished concrete floors and the foundation to support installation of a masonry fireplace. This home will stand the test of time, and is ready for its next chapter with new western red cedar siding, new HVAC, new mini-split in basement, new water heater and solar water drainback tank. Ideal for multi-generational living with flexible 4th bedroom downstairs. This oasis of green has easy access to Hillsborough, Chapel Hill/UNC, and Durham/Duke. At the end of a quiet, private road, your neighbors are stately hardwood trees, native plants, owls, and squirrels. The handsome hand-built shed has site-milled lumber siding. Use the smaller structure as a play house or chicken coop. Your fairy tale starts here.
