This cute house has been beautifully updated & maintained. You will feel that you are in a much newer home as you notice all the stylish updates from the barn doors to the laundry room, remodeled baths & kitchen (granite countertops, white cabinets and stainless steel appliances), modern light fixtures and even new hardware on doors. Your wallet will appreciate the savings from the new windows (2022). The downstairs bedroom & private bath could be anything... study, play area for young kids or a home office. How will you use? The brick fireplace in the spacious great room is now white sporting a more modern look. You can use the gas logs or go back to a traditional fireplace. The fenced in backyard is awesome! You will love the privacy that is frame by mature trees. Who will enjoy more? Your kids? Your dog? Or you? This peaceful setting is conveniently located near the Willowhaven golf course, Duke University, UNC, and RTP.
