This well-appointed home on a 1.99 acre wooded lot boasts ample curb-appeal and offers a private country feel, yet there's convenient access to both Durham & Chapel Hill. With fresh paint throughout, all you have to do is move in to start enjoying all of the unique & carefully planned features of this one of a kind home! Upon entry you'll immediately notice the drop zone to keep shoes, coats, bags, etc... tucked neatly away. From there you'll find the kitchen which has a large pantry with built-in shelving, a center island perfect for using as a prep space for meals or added counter space when entertaining guests, and tons of cabinet space and nooks for organizing cookbooks and all of your favorite kitchen gadgets. The open living & dining areas offer a welcoming feel with large picture windows adorned with custom remote controlled shades that allow natural light to filter in adding a pleasant ambiance to the space. Speaking of ambiance, it will be hard to resist cozying up to the wood burning fireplace with a blanket and hot beverage of your choice during those cold winter months! Making your way through downstairs, you'll note that the hardwood floors continue into the spacious primary suite tucked in the back of the home with a walk-in closet featuring custom built in drawers and shelves and a large functional bath with a tile walk-in shower, separate tub and double vanities. If you're in need of a study or library, then look no further - located just off the primary, this room offers the perfect place to house all of your treasures from books to photos, collectibles and keepsakes, you're sure to find a spot for everything! In addition to the library there's a separate dedicated office on the first floor with built-in cabinets for easy storage. Next is a large laundry room with a sink and counter space, but there's no need to worry about hauling laundry back & forth between floors because this home has a laundry chute, making your day to day laundry chores a breeze to handle! Next up is the conveniently placed half bath, perfect for guest access. Before heading upstairs, there's one last flex room on the first floor that could be used as a den, dining room, play area, game room or even a home gym with pocket doors that allow the option to easily close off or open up this area as needed. It also has a built-in nook with shelves under the stairs that would be perfect for a TV & gaming console or to store books, board games, etc... Upstairs you'll find two generously sized bedrooms, each with a bed situated above a built in cabinet for added storage space. A work/desk alcove in the landing and a full bath with two separate vanities rounds out the upstairs. Now let's talk about the beautifully landscaped exterior! If you prefer to dine outside on a nice spring evening or need a spot to enjoy a cold beverage during the hot summer months, then look no further than the oversized screened porch with a vaulted ceiling! If you're a nature lover, just add a bird feeder and enjoy the views of your feathered friends who are sure to flock to their new favorite feeding station. Just off the screened porch is a deck, which transitions to a flagstone patio, creating the perfect spot for outdoor grilling. A fully fenced yard with an automatic gate at the driveway allows easy access in and out, and the double attached garage offers extra parking and storage space. You're sure to fall in love at first sight with this home! From the custom shaped windows and pocket doors throughout, to the shelter for stacking firewood, attention to form and function are apparent at every turn in this contemporary charmer!
