This 1-level home is designed for living well both inside, where it's warm & comfortable, & outside, where you can relax & hear bird songs & rustling leaves. Just west of Carrboro, this quiet retreat offers a large kitchen with lots of cabinet & counter space, a pantry, & the perfect spot for casual meals by the bright bay window overlooking the front garden. The living & dining areas enjoy a gas fireplace, an open flow, & access to the big screened-in porch, which is fabulous for al fresco meals or relaxing with a book after a long day. The spacious primary suite features both a private bathroom & a lifestyle room, great for an office, workout area, or spectacular dressing room. Two additional bedrooms, separated from the primary by a flex room/den, have sizable closets, nice views, & share a hall bath. Beyond the back deck lies a sprawling, flat, & open backyard, ready for playtime, gardening, or enjoying sunny skies, which the rooftop solar panels take full advantage of for savings on energy costs. An attached 2-car garage, & a shed, provide added storage, & the extra parking areas can accommodate an RV or any of your larger parking needs. And then there's the icing on the cake: a dreamy workshop with a full bath. Whether for a woodworker, artist, remote worker, writer, or anyone in need of an inspiring space, this versatile building offers endless possibilities. The property reflects years of thoughtful loving care, & is the peaceful sanctuary you've been hoping to find.
