Right out of the pages of Southern Living, this Mitchell Ginn low-country/tidewater farmhouse sits on over 2 acres. With 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, this beautiful floorplan that allows for freedom of movement throughout the house easily accommodates the everyday busyness of life; the expansive front porch and the screened back porch - both with ceiling fans to keep you comfortable on hot summer afternoons - as well as the large front and back yards, make the house equally suited for hosting get togethers with friends and family. Enjoy morning coffee on the front porch as the sun makes the dew-laden lawn sparkle; take in the warm rainbow of the changing leaves in the woods surround this home each autumn; host a cookout under the beautiful tree in the backyard to celebrate the return of warmth in the spring; relax on a lazy, summer afternoon with a tall glass of sweet tea on the back porch.
Loaded with features like hardwood floors, ceramic tile floors, tilt-in Anderson windows, Ring Doorbell system, custom cabinetry, dusk-to-dawn exterior light fixtures, and a huge, walnut-topped kitchen island - and so many more - this farmhouse is modern in every way. Its modernity is matched by its energy efficiency: the crawlspace is fully sealed and temperature-controlled with the rest of the house so it does not leach heating and cooling energy and the walk-in, floored attics are insulated and sheetrocked to further conserve heating and cooling energy use. The main floor master suite, as well as the 36" doorways, make this an ideal home for aging in place. The unifinished bonus room above the garage - already roughed-in for plumbing and HVAC - also offers room to grow.
Situated on the property is a century-old, hand-built, out building that, with some renovations, could easily be transformed into an art studio, playhouse, small cabin... and this quaint canvas for your imagination sits near the house, at the rear of the backyard. There is also a large climate-controlled workshop, with piped-in compressed air, on the property; it's large enough to accommodate auto buffs, woodworking, welding, or any number of other hobbies or professions and it has a separate driveway.
Several of the area's most popular schools - Carolina Friends School, Duke School, Durham Academy, Triangle Day School, Hill Learning Center - are under 10 minutes away. Duke University is only a 6-minute trip and Duke University Hospital is a quick 10 minutes in the car. UNC-Chapel Hill and the hospitals in Chapel Hill are 20 minutes or fewer minutes away and UNC Hospitals Hillsborough Campus is 13 minutes down the road. Commuters will enjoy easy access to NC Highway 15-501; Research Triangle Park and Raleigh-Durham International Airport are both under a half-hour away. Those who are recharged by spending time outdoors will not only enjoy the property itself but quick access to Duke Forest hiking and biking trails, as well as the Eno River State Park, which is fewer than 15 minutes away from this dream home.
