Like trading your lunch celery for a chocolate chip cookie, or that time in 1867 the US bought all of Alaska for 36 cents an acre, some deals are just better than others. Next up to take its place in the history of great deals is this charming home in Creedmoor's Golden Pond neighborhood. An open-concept living area with a stone fireplace, vaulted ceiling and bright bamboo floors draws in tons of natural light at all hours of the day. The artfully designed floor plan leads to a private and spacious owner's suite with a sitting area, ensuite bath with garden tub and walk-in closet, and a door for direct deck access. With both an eat-in kitchen and a separate dining area, there's flexibility for takeout pizza or a full Thanksgiving spread. Located on a prime lot at the rear of the neighborhood and backing up to common area, birds and deer outnumber passing cars. You'll even find a 10'x12' storage building with room for all your toys and tools. And in case you're so enamored with the property you forget to leave, right in the community you'll find ponds, a trail, a playground and baseball field only a few minutes' walk from your front door. All this is just 12 minutes from I-85, so you can still access the city without the expense of living there. It's as good a deal as Alaska, but with less cranky bears.
