An arched trellis leads from a 2 car parking pad to a Pergola shaded back porch and exquisite garden. The side yard faces on the quiet Leonidas Ct cul-de-sac.
The big front porch, framed nicely by professional landscaping overlooks the scenic Oakwood Cemetery.
Located in the local Oakwood Historic District, the homes along Watauga and in the two cul-de-sacs were built beginning in the late 1980s on land that once was the Fallon florist nursery.
Walking along the gently rolling hills of the Oakwood Cemetery is like walking back through the history of North Carolina.
Front porches are the very essence of Historic Oakwood.
The sellers built this 4 bedroom home in 1991. The builder, Stuart Jones, is still actively building in the Triangle.
A convenient pass-through opening connects the Kitchen and Dining rooms. The back door opens to the Pergola shaded porch.
The kitchen is updated with solid surface counter tops and appliances , new in 2014.
Ah, the back porch. More on this and the garden later.
These are the steps to the bonus loft space and 2 upstairs bedrooms.
The sellers use the south facing loft as a quilting studio.
All the upstairs bedrooms and the loft have big closets.
The east facing front upstairs bedroom catches the morning sun.
The north upstairs bedroom.
The upstairs full bath.
Downstairs the Master bedroom enjoys three tall windows and a walk-in closet.
The Master bath currently also opens to the 2nd downstairs bedroom. If otherwise used, this access to the full bath could be closed off. There is also a downstairs guest half bath.
The smaller 2nd downstairs bedroom would make an ideal office or flex space close to the back door.
Crepe Myrtle trees and stone paths encircle the exquisite garden.
The fountain conveys. The beautiful sculpture, the work of the seller’s late father, do not convey.
You are back to the arched trellis that opens onto the Leonidas Ct cul-de-sac.
The 2 car parking pad provides EZ access to the Kitchen in back.
The open floor plan leads back through the Dining Room to the Kitchen. The 2 downstairs bedrooms, a shared full bath and a guest half bath are on the right side of the house.
The versatile 4 bedroom floor plan (2 up, 2 down) offers options for an office, den, nursery, rec room, whatever.
