Updated, fresh and flexible, this multi-generational home is ready to rock! Located on 2.58 acres and equidistant between Chapel Hill and Pittsboro, this charismatic property is ready to welcome you home. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, extra windows and a wood burning fireplace add to the character of the home. The updated kitchen includes quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, new lighting fixtures and stainless steel appliances. Upstairs you'll find the primary suite, two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom while the lower level is the flex space you've been waiting for, or didn't even know you needed! Enjoy two 11x12 rooms (could be bedrooms or office space), a kitchenette, family room, full bathroom and a separate laundry closet. New LVP flooring throughout the lower level and quartz counters, tile backsplash and a new fridge in the kitchenette. Outside, a multi-level deck invites you into the fenced back yard and around to the lower level brick patio. Plenty of room for gardening, chickens and bees if you please. 24 solar panels with a 13.5 kWh backup battery wall reduce electricity bills and offer peace of mind. 8x12 shed in the backyard for extra storage.
