Thoughtfully Appointed, Light-Filled Gem on One of Wendell Falls' Most Coveted Corner Lots. Enjoy the vintage Americana charm of cozy and picturesque Wendell Falls all with a rare and roomy southwest facing, park-adjacent lot that offers stunning visual breathing room, beautiful sunsets, and extraordinary privacy. Welcome to the 'South Bound Train' floor plan, where Georgian-inspired elegance meets a modern, light-hearted twist—and be instantly greeted by a cascade of sunshine streaming through seven tall southwest-facing windows, each thoughtfully framed with Norman plantation shutters for a perfect harmony of style, light, and privacy. The heart of the home is the light-filled farmhouse kitchen, thoughtfully appointed with fine quartz countertops, a contrasting mocha island, dual windows over the sink with top/down Norman shades, Bistro White Lancaster maple cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, and a single-bowl under-mount Bianco Café sink with a Hansgrohe faucet. The Rittenhouse Square brick-lay tile backsplash adds timeless character. Enjoy an upgraded KitchenAid microwave, a slide-in gas range (2021), and a newer dishwasher (2024)—all ready to handle your next dinner party or cozy night in. Throughout the home, designer lighting choices—including pendants, alcove lights, mud bench lighting, and dimmer switches—set the mood in every room. Tasteful ceiling fans throughout the home to keep the living breezy. The open-concept layout includes wood shelving in all closets and pantry, contrasting crown molding on the main floor and in the primary suite, and clean, modern trim details that add crisp sophistication. The dreamy primary suite features its own private deck with long views, a spacious dressing room, and a spa-style bathroom with dual shower heads that features Venetian pebble flooring. Also upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms, a flexible loft/study space, and top-down Norman cellular shades to control light and maintain privacy. Outdoor living includes a large elevated rear deck perfect for enjoying those glowing Carolina sunsets, a custom 11x11 patio connecting to the detached garage, and a fully fenced yard with added landscaping. Smart upgrades abound: dusk-to-dawn and motion-sensor lighting, additional electrical outlets, garage pedestrian door, tankless water heater, a radon mitigation system, a sealed and conditioned crawlspace with extra vapor barrier, and thoughtful touches like custom address plaques, bike/tool hangers in the garage, and level handles on key doors for accessibility. Enjoy the incredible lifestyle of Wendell Falls: trails, parks, fitness center, pool, Farmhouse Café, food trucks, community events—and you're just 2 minutes from Publix and the expanding delights of Treelight Square with shops and dining. Vintage Americana is calling. This elevated corner-lot gem pairs thoughtful design with park-side views in a rare and magical corner of Wendell Falls—steeped in Norman Rockwell-style charm, where front porches, tree-lined streets, and a true sense of community echo the warmth of a simpler, more heartfelt time. Come experience the storybook spirit that makes this home—and this neighborhood—so special.
