Custom built in 2004 and perched on a gently sloping 1.28-acre lot, this ranch has bragging rights: 175 feet of prime Flat River frontage. Eight sets of sliding doors and a freshly rebuilt 1,000 sqft deck mean your biggest problem will be deciding whether to enjoy the view from inside or out. Sunlight pours into the great room under vaulted ceilings, while site-finished hardwood floors shine their way throughout the home. With three generously sized bedrooms PLUS a flex room/office, you've got space for work, play, and everything in between. Storage? Covered. With the two-car garage, the charming barn-style outbuilding, and the walk-in crawlspace, there's room for all the gardening supplies, tools, and river toys you could ever want. And the big-ticket updates (HVAC (2023), water heater (2024), and a renovated primary bath with West Elm vanity and hardware) are already done for you. Don't miss the long list of other upgrades and you'll see this place is truly move-in ready. Enjoy the low Person County taxes and being surrounded by nature, yet only 20 minutes from Hillsborough, Roxboro, AND Durham. The new East End Connector even provides easy access to Raleigh. But why go anywhere when home feels this good? Come see it for yourself—your riverfront retreat is waiting!
Must see this unique home. 1.25 acre riverfront lot, 1-level home custom designed with wrap around deck and lots of floor to ceiling glass to take in river/forest views. 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and office/virtual classroom and your own front yard level playing field. Large attached garage and exterior storage building. Hardwood floors throughout. Southern Person County subdivision on cul-de-sac just off 501 north. Just minutes to Durham with low Person County taxes.
