Some homes are built to fill a lot. This one was designed to fit a life. Sitting near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac deep in Pleasant Green Woods, this custom-designed brick home is where the thought behind every room shows. The 1.36 wooded acres create a natural buffer from the world outside, and yet Duke University, Duke University Hospital, Eno River State Park, I-85, and US-70 are all within easy reach. Privacy and proximity rarely share the same address. Here, they do! A Floor Plan Built Around Real Life With over 4, 000 square feet of gross living area across two finished levels, this split ranch home rewards those who love a practical floor plan. The main level is the heart of the home with wood floors that carry you through the main living areas and where natural light pours into a generous living room framed by a warm, inviting fireplace. The adjacent kitchen opens to a breakfast nook, and a formal dining area connects for easy entertaining. All this is anchored by a primary suite with a spa-like bath featuring a garden tub, the kind of space designed to slow you down at the end of the day. A main floor laundry room, pantry and a side-entry two-car garage, keep the living spaces clean and accessible. The kind of practical detail that only comes from custom design. A sunroom and new deck extend the main level toward the tree canopy, offering quiet spaces to take in the wooded surroundings morning or evening. The Walk-Out Basement Changes the Equation Most finished basements feel like an afterthought, this one is intentional. The walk-out basement is plumbed for a second kitchen and opens directly to a covered patio. A large recreation room, a room currently used as a bedroom, a full bath, a utility room, and an oversized garage that can accommodate up to three vehicles, a workshop, or serious storage all work together to create a level that functions completely independently from the main level above. Important to note: the home carries a 3-bedroom septic permit. The room in the basement is finished and used as a bedroom but is not included in the permitted bedroom count. Outdoor Living That Earns Its Keep Step outside and the home earns a second look. A private paver-stone patio on the walk-out basement level is the kind of space that turns any evening into something worth looking forward to. The fenced backyard on the 1.36-acre lot offers room for raised garden beds, a firepit area, or simply the pleasure of wooded surroundings with no immediate neighbors in sight. Space like this does not come together by accident. This home was built with intention, finished with care, and sited on one of the better pieces of land in this part of Orange County. For buyers seeking privacy, multi-level flexibility, serious garage capacity, and proximity to everything the Triangle has to offer!
