Description

Nestled amidst hardwoods, pines, and magnolias is a bridge between yesterday and tomorrow. Lush foliage surrounds this cottage and hides it from the rest of the busy world. The open entry hall is flanked by the primary suite on the right, while the expansive living room with fireplace, and the bright dining room occupy the left, where wainscoting and a brass chandelier perpetuate the comfortable atmosphere. The sparkling grey and white kitchen and breakfast room, with tile floors, opens to the deck...Nestled amidst hardwoods, pines, and magnolias is a bridge between yesterday and tomorrow. Lush foliage surrounds this cottage and hides it from the rest of the busy world. The open entry hall is flanked by the primary suite on the right, while the expansive living room with fireplace, and the bright dining room occupy the left, where wainscoting and a brass chandelier perpetuate the comfortable atmosphere. The sparkling grey and white kitchen and breakfast room, with tile floors, opens to the deck that extends across the back of the house overlooking a large backyard and various garden spaces that lead to a small storage building. A spacious laundry abuts the kitchen and also offers access to the deck. The two upstairs bedrooms, which share a spacious bathroom, have quaint, sloped ceilings and charming window nooks provided by the dormer windows. This cottage is move-in ready with fresh paint and new carpet throughout. This property offers tranquility with a country feel on an almost ¾ of an acre lot as well as the convenience of being close to Apex, Fuquay, and 540 for Triangle commuting. Whether you want to dream like you live in the past as you wander around in the lush backyard gardens or relish in the moments of present day looking toward the future, 8405 Bells Lake is the answer.
