This is what really loving a home looks like! One of the owners says ''what began as a house became a home with 30 years of special memories''. Well-located too! 5 miles to Carrboro Farmers Market, 7 miles to UNC/hospital, less than 20 min to Duke, yet so pristine and private in wonderful neighborhood which rarely turns over. Through the years their love for this property manifested in constant improvements, always replacing what was there with better and the ability to see what could be! The result is apparent as you drive in - charming one-level home on a special acre with both 2-car carport and fully equipped shed/workshop (has power, cooling and warming and even cable!) So many special features including Quartzite tile surround on Fireplace-same tile in foyer, Bamboo flooring all public areas, both bathrooms upgraded - Owners suite with custom built cultured marble walk in shower, travertine tile floors/walls and hall bath with comfy cork flooring, hand-tiled shower, granite vanity top. Owners bedroom with Cherry hdwd floors, closet w/cedar back wall and integrated blinds in the door to the private owners deck where your hot tub awaits! Kitchen with granite, built-in pantry. See full list for all details! Must see the amazing things they have done with the property itself including whimsical touches along walkways, fish pond, stone patio w/fire pit - be sure to peek at all of it! Extensive and exquisite landscaping! Just through the French doors in the dining room, rock in the Sunroom seat swing which affords a year round comfortable sanctuary (ductwork plus fantastic gas stove) to observe the many birds and annual blooming plants. What a little paradise you can enjoy for quiet or open to your guests! Note Sunroom was not permitted but is fully heated and cooled living space and all of it is at or above the level of quality of the whole house. For fans of college sports, this home offers a prime spot for those game day celebrations with the spacious deck and fire pit area - terrific flow for entertaining!
