Built in 1985, this spacious ranch was designed by late local architect, JP Goforth. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and airy common spaces, this home is a calm retreat from the hustle and bustle, while still being just minutes from downtown Chapel Hill and downtown Durham. Commuters will enjoy convenient access to I-40, Hwy 86, and 15-501. Folks who are refreshed and energized by the outdoors will enjoy being just a hop, skip, and jump from both Johnston Mill Nature Preserve and North Carolina Forest or - closer to home - the wooded surrounds of the home - including a fig tree!, the expansive back deck, and a fire pit in the back yard.

The kitchen and dining areas, remodeled in 2014, open up to a living area with soaring ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, making for a fantastic space in which to entertain friends and family or just to sit, relax, and bask in the abundant natural light. Both bathrooms were also updated in 2014 into spaces that can easily accommodate busy morning routines. Also in 2014, the garage was converted into a bonus room - with central heat and air - that can serve as a workshop, home gym, art or music studio, a staging area for home gardeners to start seedlings or just about anything else you can imagine! This home features site-finished hardwood floors throughout the living areas and bedrooms. The generously-sized master suite, with windows aplenty and access to the back deck, provides a welcome respite from the busyness of the day-to-day.
Situated in a quiet neighborhood within the Rural Buffer, this peaceful abode is still convenient to all the amenities of the northern end of the Triangle. The American Tobacco Campus - and its neighbors, Durham Bulls Athletic Park and Durham Performing Arts Center - is under twenty minutes away. If the funky thoroughfares adjacent to universities are more your scene, 9th Street in Durham and Franklin Street in Chapel Hill are both between 15 and 20 minutes down the road and have their own collections of small boutiques, restaurants full of character, and tons of local flavor. New Hope Market, only a 5-minute trip by car, is a must - featuring delicious breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner menus and local goods, from garden produce to pieces by local artists and crafters! Historic Downtown Hillsborough is only a 15-minute car ride away - be sure to check out the beautiful and decadent desserts at Matthew's Chocolates while you're there! Folks working in the healthcare sector will have easy commutes: UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill, UNC Hospitals Hillsborough Campus, and Duke University Hospital are all fewer than 20 minutes away. Given the easy access to I-40, folks commuting to Research Triangle Park are looking at a quick 20 to 25-minute drive and frequent flyers will enjoy RDU International Airport being 25 to 30 minutes down the interstate.
