Remember when houses were built to last? This Southern Living designed brick ranch constructed with attention to every detail has been meticulously maintained. Located just 15 minutes from ECU Medical campus, this one-acre property is a gardener's paradise. Strategically planted azaleas, camellias, hydrangeas, and dogwoods flourish providing blossoms for corsages or centerpieces practically year-round. Foyer and living room hearth are graced with imported Italian marble. Adjacent dining room adorned with crystal chandelier is located just off kitchen conveniently separated by pocket door for formal dinners. A cook's dream, this expansive kitchen with double oven, massive pantry, and cherry cabinets has storage for all your cookware, gadgets, and serving pieces. Just beyond the breakfast nook is a spacious laundry room with ample storage. On the opposite side of the kitchen, the huge ''den'' surrounded with warm oak paneling and white oak floors boasts handcrafted wooden ceiling beams. Custom bookshelves flank the oversized fireplace designed with handmade Silas Lucas bricks. Imagine snuggling up with a good book or watching the newest flick with family in front of a cozy fire. Just past the Dutch door lies the sunroom with flagstone tile (under carpet) and ceiling to floor windows all around. Bird lovers, gardeners, and nature lovers will savor morning coffee or enjoy nature year-round despite temperatures outside. Orchids love it here too! Within the enormous fenced-in backyard, lies a furnished brick patio. Blessed with plenty of space for gathering with family and friends, you can make memories here to last a lifetime. Hardwoods abound in roomy bedrooms and all living areas (under carpets) and the bathrooms are tile and porcelain in pleasing colors. This neighborhood with lots of hills, a rarity in eastern NC, is perfect for sledding after the occasional snow. Neutral paint throughout and new roof installed in 2024. There's no place like THIS home! BROKER/OWNER
