The single-level 2 BR/1 BA home delivers 968 sq ft of living space in a classic 1964 build with wood exterior and forced-air heat. The attached garage and ample outdoor space invite simple living, gardening, park-style lounging, or storing your Jeep and outdoor toys. Located in Chatham County near lakes, trails and US-64 access, you're just a short drive from downtown Pittsboro, Apex/Cary and the recreational offerings of Jordan Lake State Recreation Area. A wonderful opportunity to personalize, invest, or simplify in a tucked-away setting. Shed is not included.
