1707 Rosedale Avenue

Closed 12/20/11

Thoughtfully and tastefully renovated, this Cape Cod is nestled in a gem of a neighborhood. Private, cul-de-sac close to Duke & Chapel Hill. Sun dappled, deep lot with well sited home-meticulously redone: interior and exterior.

Back view of home beckons. New deck, new paint, landscaped yard.

Spacious living room, fireplace and built-ins in a home that has an extremely liveable layout.

Dining room with french doors leading to the deck and a wonderful "reading nook" overlooking the side yard.

Living room opens into dining room and dining room opens into a cook's kitchen. The circular layout lends itself to easy living.

A cook's kitchen, completely renovated: stained cherry, maple cabinets, with pull-ins & pull-outs. SS appliances, tile & granite. The sellers thought that they'd bake cookies&entertain for the next decade & beyond. The buyers will have that privlege.

The 2.5 baths in this home have been thoughtfully renovated. This dual vanity Master Bathroom is perfect with lots of storage and easy accessiblity.

The tiled shower is a plus in the master bath.

The first floor master bedroom is open with lots of natural light or close the blinds and sleep fitfully.

Second floor bonus room is wonderful transitional space. Use it to your advantage.

There are 2 bedrooms and the bonus room on the second floor, along with a full bath. This is one of the 2 bedrooms.

Second bedroom, newly painted and carpeted with plenty of storage.

Upstairs bath is roomy with plenty of space for towels, linens and asundries.

1707 Rosedale is ready to move into - it's like a new home in a well established quiet, stable neighborhood. It's a hidden gem.

Enjoy the backyard, have coffee on the deck & entertain your family and friends.

This is a place where the neighbors are friendly.

Side entry, double car garage. Drive up and in.
