You may remember when 751 South was still a huge dream, a vision of a vibrant community, beautiful homes, shared green spaces and impressive amenities. Sounded almost too good to be true, but they absolutely delivered! What was an incredible vision is now a unique lifestyle and one of Durham's most sought-after communities. Here's your chance to be a part of it all, right in the heart of 751 South... Welcome to 824 Watercolor Way! Nothing says Southern charm quite like a rocking chair front porch, and lucky for you, it overlooks one of the many community green spaces. Come inside and take it all in. Freshly painted and move-in ready! Thank goodness for a first floor that's just as functional as it is stunning, with a gorgeous kitchen you'll want to cook and entertain in, with stainless appliances, a large island, quartz countertops and stylish finishes. A spacious living room when you're having friends over for the big game or just having a quiet and cozy night in, a separate open-concept dining room, and a first floor bedroom with an adjacent full bath that could serve as a comfortable guest suite or a dedicated office for the days you're working from home. And if you love a garage that's tucked away out of sight, you'll love the attached garage in the back. With a convenient mudroom/drop-zone perfectly located just off the garage entrance! To round out the main floor highlights, step right out onto the screened porch, where you can dine al fresco, enjoy your morning coffee or a good book. Gorgeous, site-finished hardwood floors flow throughout the first floor, the main staircase and upstairs hallways. If you ever wanted to do cartwheels in your primary bedroom, now's your chance. This suite is very spacious with a great, walk-in closet and spa-like bathroom featuring dual vanities, walk-in shower and relaxing, soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms (one with an attached bath), a spacious laundry room and one more full bath complete the second floor. If you'd like the option for future expansion or simply love extra storage space, there's a walk-up attic space with unlimited possibilities. One last room for bonus points is an amazing flex room over the garage with its own staircase and full bathroom! This private space could be perfect for guests, a playroom, a movie room, you name it. Community amenities include an incredible clubhouse, two pools (one for adults, one for the kids!) , a play space, a fitness center, and community events to bring everyone together. Located just minutes from I-40, Research Triangle Park, Southpoint, American Tobacco Trail, and more. Other details tankless water heater and Google Fiber.
