How often do you come across a home this charming for this price inside the beltline and this close to the soon refurbished/under construction Hillsborough Street Village, Cameron Village, and NCSU on this gorgeous a homesite too!
Sit on your Veranda and watch the leaves turn! There are a multitude of wonderful architectural features in this home so don't miss the opportunity to walk the exterior and browse the eyebrow windows, heavy overhangs, and lovely crafstman woodwork!
Notice the ample Foyer with wonderful hardwood flooring, large glass front door and sidelights and heavy wood framing and trim. Throughout this rock-solidly built home you'll find the kind of craftsmanship mostly gone from todays homes...
The Living Room is a bright and cheerful space flooded with light from two side windows and two immense multi-light front windows reminiscent of English Cottages and the Craftsman style. Creamy yellow walls and stunning black fireplace complete the look!
The huge Dining Room doubles as a wonderful study and opens to the Vernada. Enjoy throwing incredilbe candle-light suppers this Indian Summer with the door flung open, candles blazing on the Veranda, and a huge table surrounded by crowds of friends!
Browse the beautifully updated kitchen with black solid surface counters, stainless dishwasher and refrigerator, loads of cabinets, and more wonderful hardwood floors. The cream-white cabinets are the perfect compliment to the black tops and natural wood.
Want a cozy spot to call your own? How about this delightful nook in the quiet back of the house behind the kitchen and overlooking the garden? Pull out a great book and settle back for a private read with light flooding in from 3 sides...or take a nap!
And don't worry about where you're going to hang you coat and hat! This rear vestibule is a fabulous spot for bookbags, umbrellas, and wet shoes! Ample space allows the rest of the house to stay neat and orderly and is another grand old feature!
The Master Bedroom is absolutely HUGE and has a tidy walk-in closet but if you need more this room is so large it would be easy to add a whole wall of closets too! Two large windows provide ample light and give this room a cheerful demeanor!
The Front Bedroom has built in bookcases and storage and would make a great study. The closet would easily hold all the supplies along with storage for files, a printer, or PC. Large cottage style windows in the front match those in the Living Room!
The Back Bedroom/Nursery is yet another cheerful and inviting space. The L-shaped space provides ample room for a small bed/crib and the "L" makes a perfect spot for a cozy reading corner or play space. A second bath in this room also makes life easy!
Be sure to look at the Virtual Tour which offers many more shots of this delightful home but one more we'll share here is the Multi-purpose room on the lower level. Rec Room, Play Space, Crafts Room and Storage...there are many uses for this handy spot!
