Nestled in the friendly and peaceful Heritage Hills neighborhood, this cheerful and airy 3-bedroom, 1.5 bath home is waiting to be your own serene getaway from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind while still never being too far from some of the Triangle’s best amenities. The mortared brick steps invite you to enter the home into a living room that—with its ethereal blue walls and bank of windows looking over the front yard—gives a sense of billowy breeziness, even on the hottest of North Carolina afternoons.
Beyond the living room, you’ll find the central gathering point of the house: the large dining room and, next to it, an open kitchen. The light sage green of the walls evokes a sense of peace and balance, as well as brings the vitality of the backyard’s green foliage into this center space in the home. Casual enough for weeknight dinners and large enough for large holiday meals, the dining room is the perfect place to showcase your skills in the kitchen. Home chefs will love cooking on the 5-burner gas range. You’ll also enjoy the stone countertops which offer plenty of space for prep work and, along with the beautiful tile backsplash which wraps around the kitchen, make cleaning up after creating your signature dish that much easier. The under-cabinet lighting also makes it much easier to sneak into the kitchen for a midnight snack without disturbing the rest of the house.
Following the hardwood floors from the dining room and down the hall, you’ll find a full bathroom with vintage 1960s tiling—the space for a stackable washer and dryer will also make laundry a bit less of a chore. Beyond the bathroom, you’ll come upon 3 bedrooms, each of which also have hardwood floors. Like the living room, each bedroom has its own large windows that let in tons of natural light, giving that ethereal blue that sense of airy, openness. The primary bedroom features an en suite half-bath and a walk-in closet with both hanging and shelf space.
The crowning jewel of this home is situated just off the kitchen: the all-season sunroom. From the kitchen, you’ll pass through a set of French doors that open into your very own slice of paradise, regardless of the temperature outside. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee in this soothing space before a busy day; cool off under the large ceiling fan with a glass of sweet tea while watching fireflies dance their way through summer evenings; or spend snow days curled up with a good book and some hot chocolate in front of the wood-burning stove. And, with the attached deck and a flat yard, prepare to be hosting the next cookout! As perfect for entertaining a crowd as for relaxed nights-in, this will quickly become your favorite space in the house.
Sitting among the gently rolling hills mere minutes south of Chapel Hill, Heritage Hill is a tranquil, well-established neighborhood boasting mature trees, walkable roads, and a sense of community. The neighborhood hosts the Heritage Hills Recreation Club—a private, member-owned club that can help you beat the heat with its large swimming pool, complete with lap lanes, a roped learning area, a diving well with both high and low diving boards, and a zero-entry baby pool with splash fountains. The club also offers swim lessons and water aerobics classes and hosts summer tennis camps.
