Tucked away on a private one-acre lot, this J. P. Goforth-built home offers a peaceful setting that feels removed from the everyday, yet is just off Whitfield Rd with easy I-40 access and Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools. The current owners have extensively renovated including Hardie siding, new roof and gutters, new windows, updated electrical, renovated laundry/mudroom, Trex deck, patio, repaved driveway and gated deer fencing. The home is designed for comfortable, relaxed living with generous gathering spaces, a large kitchen, gas fireplace and first-floor laundry. The recently updated three-season room is a favorite spot to enjoy morning coffee, a good book or views of the private backyard throughout much of the year. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a custom closet, with additional bedrooms and a flexible office/hobby room nearby. Step outside and enjoy the space, quiet and changing seasons. Each spring, daffodils bloom along the path behind the home, winding through the trees in a beautiful ribbon of color.

RB
Rural Buffer District
The purpose of the Rural Buffer (RB) District is to provide locations for rural residential developments and agricultural, silvicultural or horticultural uses which serve to buffer or separate more intensively planned and/or developed portions of Orange County. Development within the Rural Buffer (RB) District is at very low densities (the minimum lot size per dwelling unit is two acres) and relies on individual wells and ground absorption systems for domestic water supply and sewage disposal, respectively.
