Nestled amidst towering hardwoods, this picture perfect cottage is truly as good as it looks! The commodious eat-in kitchen opens onto the deck, which affords panoramic views of the backyard, lushly planted with herbs and flowers. The wood burning fireplace in the living room contributes to the ambience provided by two windows letting in an abundance of natural light. A first floor master suite with a luxurious bath and walk-in closet affords privacy downstairs. Two bedrooms, with charming dormer windows are tucked beneath sloping ceilings, and separated by another bathroom upstairs. At the back of the spacious two-car garage is a separate workshop. Rain pattering on the almost new metal roof, lends soothing sound to an idyllic setting, secluded, yet minutes from Interstate 85 and Mebane. The best of both worlds. Mebane. The best of both worlds.
