A gardener's paradise, with solar panels to offset energy costs, and a large swimming pool and hot tub for summer entertaining. This truly unique home is located minutes from parks, shopping, schools, UNC and main travel routes. Mature landscaping consists of shrubs, flowers and specimen trees. Near the pool grows a fig tree. A large yard sits behind the home, perfect for play time. Visitors approach the home via a wooded lane and are greeted by a large brick patio with seating area. On one corner of the patio is found a detached office space. This space was used as a music studio and has some sound proofing. French doors can be opened to entertain parties on the patio. Once inside the home, many large windows and high ceilings fill the home with natural light. Many architectural details, some reclaimed, fill the spaces with charm. The family room, dining area, and kitchen are all one large space with views of the pool. Wide plank pine and brick flooring add style to this multi-level space. Built-in cabinetry and shelving add options for displaying artwork or a book collection. An electric fireplace adds warmth and ambiance. The pool and hot tub are accessed through the door in the family room. An outdoor shower is conveniently located near the pool. The home has three bedrooms. The primary bedroom has an en suite half bath. Both the half and full bath have been updated. Custom closet organizers are found in the bedrooms. An oversized, detached, two-car garage, with separate electric meter, offers room for a workspace as well as storage. Additional features of the home include newer stove, microwave, and kitchen sink, a newer heat pump, newer pool pump and liner, a whole house fan, and no HOA. This home has much to offer including great living spaces, a lovingly maintained garden, and exceptional outdoor areas.
