THIS HOME IS FOR SALE NOT FOR RENT. There is no one authorized to rent this home - showings only with a licensed sales agent! What's better than a drive through the North Carolina countryside on a warm spring day--the air scented with wildflowers and the breeze in your hair? Not much. .. unless that drive ends at your very own peaceful retreat. Welcome to 953 Bonlee Bennett Rd, where you'll find a charming country cottage thoughtfully updated for modern living while embracing its serene, nature-filled surroundings. Fully renovated in 2022, this home offers an easy transition into your countryside lifestyle. Inside, you'll discover two beautifully updated full bathrooms with chic, modern finishes, an inviting eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and a spacious laundry room with storage (washer and dryer convey!). Also on the main level, you'll find a large bedroom and full bathroom with double sinks, tub and shower. Upstairs, a generous suite provides a true retreat, complete with a private en-suite bath, custom closet system, and an additional attached room with a window--perfect for a home office, nursery, or creative space. Durable, low-maintenance LVP flooring spans the main level, and major systems--including the metal farmhouse roof, HVAC, water heater, and appliances--are all less than four years old, offering valuable peace of mind. Set on just under one-third of an acre and bordered by larger, tree-lined properties, this homesite delivers a rare balance of privacy and manageable upkeep. Enjoy the quiet of the countryside while still being close to everyday essentials in Siler City, and take advantage of nearby outdoor adventures at Jordan Lake State Recreation Area or along the scenic banks of Deep River Park. Looking for a bit of local flavor? The growing dining, arts, and community scene in Pittsboro--including spots like The Plant--is just a short drive away. Closer to home, you're less than a mile from Bonlee Elementary School and Bonlee Ballfield, where neighbors gather for rec league baseball and small-town charm shines. If you've been dreaming of a simpler pace, fresh air, and a place that feels like an everyday escape--this is your moment. Come home to the countryside. .. and let life slow down in all the right ways.
