Custom-built in 2002, this home sits on over 17 acres and offers over 6,400 square feet of living space. The open and airy living and dining areas are the perfect backdrop for entertaining, complete with wet bar. The kitchen, opening out to the more informal dining space and family room, has countertops for days and the inclusion of a prep sink in the island makes for very efficient work triangle. The second floor - with three bedrooms, one Jack and Jill bathroom, one Continental bathroom, and a recreation area - is ideal for hosting friends and family in from out of town. Meanwhile, with access from the informal dining area, the living room, and the master bedroom, the screened in back porch and open deck is the ultimate setting for gatherings during those warm, North Carolinian summer nights - or, thanks to the hot tub, even the cooler nights too! The master bedroom is a peaceful retreat with a sitting area, direct access to the screened porch, and a beautiful view of the woods on the property; the master bathroom, with dual master bathrooms which share a pass-through shower and each have their own separate walk-in closets, is efficient for early, workday morning routines and spacious enough for a relaxing soak in the tub.
When the current owners purchased the property from Carolina Friends School in 2002, there was a deed restriction specifying a period of time during which the 17 acres could not be subdivided, that provision will expire in 2029, making this an ideal long-term investment property. Recent property sales in the area have sold at over $50,000 per acre. Located in the rural buffer zone, the minimum subdivided lot size is 2 acres, which would make for a spacious pocket community or provide ample dedicated space for a Certified Wildlife Habitat.
Though the property gives a sense of being a remote escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, its location is within easy distance of many draws to the northern part of the Triangle. It is less than a half-mile from Carolina Friends School, Duke University is only a ten minute drive, and University of North Carolina Chapel Hill is only twenty minutes away. The attractions in the downtown areas of Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Durham are all quickly accessible.
