A house is a tangible asset. Home is the intangible feeling. Home is a sense of comfort, security, and belonging. Home is a place where memories are made. From the moment you arrive, you will know this house is home. Starting with the curb appeal of meticulously-kept grounds and friendly Craftsman-styling, this home welcomes you with open arms. The east-facing rocking-chair-style covered front porch greets you and your guests with space to sit and enjoy the morning sun. Step into the gracious foyer flanked by the elegant dining room with trey ceiling and wainscot, and a convenient home office with French doors. Site-finished hardwood flooring graces the first level of the home. The open-concept floorplan was thoughtfully designed. Perfect for entertaining or for quiet times with family, the family room, kitchen, breakfast area, and sunroom flow seamlessly together. The family room features a cozy gas-log fireplace, and a wall of windows overlooking the verdant backyard. The kitchen is a chef's delight with 5-burner gas cooktop, double wall ovens, plenty of cabinet and counter space, and a generously-sized pantry. The large central kitchen island with pendant lighting provides additional space for food prep and seating for your more informal meals. Beautiful staggered-height solid-wood cabinets, natural granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances all add to the classic look of elegant warmth. The delightful sunroom provides a special space, surrounded by bay windows, for entertaining, enjoying quiet conversation, or bird watching. Dine inside or out. The 15x20 screened porch has ample room for a seating area and a dining table. The home's staircase is tucked away from the front door and adds an interesting architectural element to the family room. Also tucked away, behind the kitchen, is a broad hallway with convenient drop zone, a closet, a powder room, and the door to the garage. Upstairs you will find four generously-sized bedrooms. One is approximately 18x18 and would make a great bonus-flex room, game room, or second home office. The primary bedroom suite is truly a retreat with large bathroom, huge walk-in closet, and another cozy sitting room with bay windows. Pamper yourself in the primary suite bathroom with leaded glass windows, oversized soaking tub, separate shower with custom tile, and separate water closet. Other features of this well-thought-out floorplan include the large second-floor laundry room and the Jack-and-Jill-style bathroom accessed from bedroom 2 and bedroom 3. There is a spacious walk-in attic on the second floor. Kingsley Estates is a lovely neighborhood with large homesites. The home features a sideload oversized 20x29 two-car garage, and lots of driveway space for extra parking or outdoor sports. The backyard of this home is large and level and features room for a garden and a peaceful patio area perfect for relaxing. There is a large lawn area as well which is great for play or pets. Awesome location less than 10 minutes from The Streets at Southpoint with its cornucopia of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Downtown Durham is an easy drive and features museums and vibrant night life including numerous award-winning restaurants, the Durham Performing Arts Center, and the Durham Athletic Park home to minor league baseball's fabled Durham Bulls. The Raleigh-Durham International Airport, the major employers of the Research Triangle Park, and B. Everett Jordan Recreational Lake are all within 15 miles. Duke and UNC Chapel Hill hospital and campuses are also both an easy drive. Don't miss this opportunity to make this house your home.
