Exhale when you turn into the driveway - Tucked away on 3.53 wooded acres, this quintessential 90s home offers the kind of privacy that's hard to find — and even harder to leave. Surrounded by trees with a creek winding through the backyard, it feels like your own private nature preserve. .. while still only 10 minutes to all things North Durham & 20 to downtown. Inside, the open living space — redesigned by Ellen Cassilly — welcomes you with site-finished hardwood floors & natural light pouring through the dining room picture window. The French country kitchen is accentuated by a beautiful copper range hood, Briarwood cherry cabinetry, counter lighting, granite tops, stone tile backsplash, and everyone's favorite: a drawer microwave. Curl up by the fireplace in the living room and watch the snow fall, when we have some. It's reminiscent of an NC Mountain getaway. Grab a book and transport yourself to anywhere you can imagine. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms with brand-new carpet & peaceful views in every direction. The spacious primary suite features vaulted ceilings, an updated tranquil bathroom with dual vanity, modern lighting, a walk-in shower with frameless glass door & walk-in closet. Downstairs, the walk-out basement offers a huge rec room, flex space, third full bathroom, & storage galore. Again, the views capture your attention from every floor. The Japanese Maple by the creek is breathtaking in the fall. There's no shortage of entertainment options outside, without a neighbor in sight. Enjoy grilling on the patio, where the party can go all night long. Or grab your morning coffee and watch the bunnies from the covered front porch. Dine al fresco from the kitchen balcony among the treetops with occasional woodland visitors. No matter where you choose, you'll be able to hear the backyard creek babbling along to the Little River Reservoir. The spacious laundry/mud room, oversized garage, and storage shed mean this home is as functional as it is fabulous. Whether you're craving space, serenity, or just a break from the buzz — this hidden gem in the trees delivers. * * Please refer to the official FEMA flood maps to verify that this property is not located in a designated flood zone. The First Street ''flood factor'' ratings are not a reliable source, as they do not account for elevation or topographical data. They are a service trying to sell you information that a realtor/insurance agent can provide at no cost.
Wonderful space including fully finished lower level (2002). Vaulted ceiling in master bedroom and sunroom. Lower level has family room, bonus, full bath, walk in storage and outside entrance. Nice hard wood floors (recently refinished), beautiful tile and hard berber carpet. 3.5 acres with landscaped yard around home. Great privacy. Extra storage in garage.

RR
M/LR-A
Residential Rural District
The RR District is established to provide for agricultural activities and residential development on lots of one acre or greater and in conservation subdivisions. Commercial and industrial development is generally prohibited. This district is used to implement the Comprehensive Plan within those areas shown as the Rural Tier. Lands within other Tiers that have existing RR zoning are acknowledged; however, such lands may be rezoned to more intensive zoning districts consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The regulations of this district are designed to discourage the development of urban services and to encourage the maintenance of an open and rural character.
