Lovely updated ONE LEVEL home with amazing optional SPACE! Super quiet peaceful neighborhood, and a great location, just minutes to historic Hillsborough and Eno River State Park, and close to Durham. The home has 3+ bedrooms, a living room + dining room as well as a fantastic den with a wood stove. Great view off the big spacious deck of a huge BACKYARD. It is fenced and has majestic large mature HARDWOODS. Plenty of room for dogs, garden and playground on the large 1.4 acre lot. The garage was converted into a very spacious PRIMARY BEDROOM (2016, fully permitted) with a tiled + quartz bathroom and large closet. The current owner chose to rent that portion out as an efficiency APARTMENT for $1000/mo.! Many options could be possible, such as a separate mother in law apartment or private entrance workspace. Lots of nice updates: Smooth Ceilings, Water Heater + new Microwave 2024; HVAC 2023; Mini split, Bamboo floors and 2 big Windows - 2022; New roof + beautiful Wood Fence 2020. Owner is a writer/illustrator of wonderful educational books, be sure to check out her books in the den room! Showings start FRIDAY. Sign not yet on the street.
