    You will love this beautiful traditional home, perfectly perched on a hill in the heart of historic Hope Valley. Overlooking the 10th fairway from across Dover Road, this idyllic residence exudes a cottage-like charm and timeless elegance. From the classic Flemish Bond brick exterior to the serene courtyard-style garden, every corner is adorned with delightful details that will capture your attention. Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting ''Williamsburg'' vibe with beautiful hardwood and brick floors. The partially finished basement extends this home's living space and features a fun and flexible retreat reminiscent of an authentic English pub — perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main floor, while the second level features two gracious bedrooms plus an additional room, ideal as a small 4th bedroom, nursery, or fabulous home office. This meticulously maintained home boasts numerous recent updates, including a new architectural shingle roof (2021), half-round gutters (2025), two new HVAC systems (2025), interior French Drains (2021), and updated landscaping (2025). The backyard benefits from a professionally installed and buried drainage system (2025). The old masonite exterior siding was replaced with fiber cement and the exterior re-painted (2021). Located in the heart of this iconic neighborhood, you'll enjoy the picturesque architecture, walkable proximity to Hope Valley Country Club, and easy access to Duke University, UNC, I-40, Southpoint Mall, and more. This is not just a home -- it's a piece of Hope Valley's cherished heritage, ready to welcome you.
