Tucked away in North Durham, this hidden gem offers a peaceful, nature-filled retreat with the benefits of county living, no city taxes, water, or sanitation bills (well and septic). Set on combined 2.27 private acres, 2004 and 2000 Snow Valley Rd, at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this well-maintained ranch home is nestled in a hardwood forest and borders a Federal Conservation Easement for added privacy and serenity. Lovingly maintained and spacious, designed for easy one-level living, this sunshine-filled home features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, along with an open floor plan ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The partially finished basement provides versatile bonus space to suit multiple needs. Modern updates include oak hardwood flooring, Star Galaxy granite countertops, Italian kitchen tile, and a Trane HVAC system. Refrigerator, washer and dryer will convey. Home also has a sump pump and dehumidifier with a 3 year warranty. Relax and enjoy the outdoors from the spacious deck and screened porch with ceiling fans, or take advantage of the property's perennial flowerbeds, composters, chicken coops, fig tree, and raised-bed gardens, all fenced within an approximate half-acre area with adaptable configurations perfect for gardening, pets, and play. Additional highlights include two garages with three total parking spaces and no HOA. Conveniently located just 8 miles from Duke and only minutes to the Eno River, Penny's Bend, and hiking paths on the Mountains-to-Sea Trail. This is truly a unique property that blends comfort, functionality, and natural beauty!
