Set amid towering trees, a babbling creek, and abundant wildlife, this 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath home offers a rare blend of natural serenity and prime accessibility—close to I-85, I-40, and the Triangle's renowned universities, medical centers, and cultural attractions. Built in 1986, this well-maintained 3,906 sq. ft. residence invites you to personalize its classic bones with modern touches.

The spacious living areas, dotted with large windows, provide a front-row seat to your wooded surroundings, blending indoor comfort with the beauty of the outdoors. Out back, soak up summer days in the 16×32 ft. in-ground pool and adjacent hot tub. Two expansive decks overlook the whisper of a creek below, offering the perfect backdrop for grilling, entertaining friends, or simply unwinding with a quiet cup of coffee as deer meander through your backyard. For extended family or guests, the separate 1-bedroom in-law suite above the 3-car garage ensures both comfort and privacy. This home's solid structure and generous proportions create a blank canvas awaiting your cosmetic updates—fresh paint, new flooring, and custom finishes can transform it into the custom masterpiece you've always envisioned.
