This sweet midcentury gem is nestled into a wooded lot with a panoramic view of open pasture. An expanded-ranch floor plan combines functionality, smart styling, and updated finishes. With three nicely-sized bedrooms, along with a utility zone that could serve as an office, mudroom, or crafting area, options abound for how best to utilize the space to suit your needs. A large, renovated kitchen flexes with countertops for miles and will make your house the logical place to host Friendsgiving. The bountiful cabinetry means you can go ahead and store the china you inherited without giving up room for your coffee mug collection. An expanded primary bath is swanky, functional, and spacious, with a similarly-appointed hall bath for guests. A nearly 1.3 acre lot provides easy sanctuary from the hustle of the day, and the stone patio is perfect for enjoying the Fall colors for cocktail hour or grilling sessions. Live out your homesteading dreams in the vegetable garden, with plenty of space left for your chicken coop or pottery shed. It's tough to ride that line between privacy and convenience, but this house does it well. You'll easily get your stroll on with the copious and accessible Duke Forest trails just around the corner, while also enjoying a short drive to replenish your Trader Joes stash or catch a flick at the Silverspot. This rural dream is also zoned for Chapel Hill/Carrboro City schools!
