The downstairs bathroom has been updated with a restored century-old clawfoot tub, marble floor, and granite-topped vanity. The downstairs bedroom, which makes a great home office, includes a desk, chair, full bed, and two closets. High-speed internet (Brightspeed Fiber Internet 500 Mbps) is included in the cost of rent. There is also a chest of drawers in one of the bedroom closets for your use. The living room includes a couch, chairs, electric fireplace, and one-of-a-kind mantle made from reclaimed wood. You can use the smart TV to access your favorite streaming services. Programmable Nest thermostat enables you to conserve energy easily with features like geofencing and automatic scheduling, and you can change the temperature conveniently from your smartphone. Upstairs you'll find the main bedroom with a queen bed (nestled under an old fireplace mantle), sitting area, smart TV, and full-size dressing mirror. En suite bathroom includes a clawfoot tub and custom slate shower. The bedroom suite also includes one walk-in and one reach-in closet and three built-in bookshelves (one additional closet is reserved for owner's home supplies). The yard includes mature hardwoods that provide cooling summer shade. The front yard includes a recently-planted rose garden, which the deer seem to really enjoy eating. The yard includes a variety of other plants including a small vegetable garden in the backyard, currently planted with herbs, mixed greens, and strawberries. Backyard bricked patio area includes a fire table and chairs and is a great spot to relax and listen to the crickets chirp. Backyard shed has electricity and plenty of storage space with shelving and peg board wall. Home is located ~18 minutes from UNC, ~6 minutes from Fearrington Village (with a great Tuesday farmer's market, bookstore, and food/coffee options), ~4 minutes to MOSAIC (with concerts, movies, fitness classes, restaurants, shops), and ~9 minutes to downtown Pittsboro. Home is located across the street from the Lower Haw State Natural Area, with a front porch that is the perfect place to sit and listen to the river roar. The field across the street has seasonal wildflowers and includes a short walking path to the pedestrian bridge. There is a 7.9 mile hiking trail about a one or two minute walk away that follows the river. The trail is a great spot for catching a glimpse of the local bald eagles and herons. If you're lucky you might also encounter a seasonal kaleidoscope of butterflies on the trail. The river has multiple put-in spots for kayaking, tubing, swimming, etc. A short walk will take you to the Bynum bridge or general store, where you can catch some festive music or storytelling shows (they are usually weekly in the late spring - early fall, monthly in the cooler months; you can find more information on their website). If you're lucky enough to catch Halloween on the Bynum bridge, it is truly magical with its plethora of hand-carved pumpkins. Note: There are floor height changes between some rooms and the stairs to the second floor do not have an exterior railing so the home may be difficult for young children or individuals with mobility difficulties to navigate. Also, the second floor ceilings are 77 inches high, so vertically-gifted individuals would probably feel a bit cramped. Home is available for monthly lease (30+ days). Home is furnished and includes a fully-stocked kitchen and linens. Lawncare, curbside trash and recycling pickup, and high-speed internet (Brightspeed Fiber Internet 500 Mbps) are included. Tenant is responsible for water, electricity, and gas (for heat). If you would prefer to have utilities included instead of paying them separately, that is an option for an additional fee. Sorry, no pets allowed. Smoking of any kind is not allowed inside or outside of the home. Credit check, background check, renter's insurance, security deposit, and documentation of current income required.
