Welcome to urban living within nature in this unexpectedly large, sunny home on a quiet street in the coveted Cedars neighborhood. The first floor has a comfortable flow over the hardwoods with living room, dining room, primary suite, and kitchen. You will delight in the kitchen with new quartz countertops, gas cooktop and stainless-steel appliances. There are 2 bedrooms on the second floor, as well as a vaulted ceiling room which is perfect for a study or TV room. The third floor has a large bamboo-floored room with a closet and built-in shelves: ideal for a very large bedroom, playroom or spacious office. For even more living flexibility, there is a studio/office/guest room over the 2-car garage with a small kitchen and half-bath. Due to the number of possible uses for this layout, it lives like a 4-bedroom home. You will enjoy relaxing or entertaining on the large screened-in porch, while watching birds in the small, lush, fenced backyard. Originally the model home, this home has been updated with a focus on energy efficiency. The main floor has a new electric heat-pump for efficient heating and cooling, with gas furnace back-up for the coldest weather. The direct-vent gas fireplace is not only beautiful but provides contaminant-free heat, even in the event of a power outage. Foam attic insulation has been added. A gas Rinnai provides on-demand hot water. Stay connected with Google Fiber, and enjoy the convenience of Wi-Fi thermostats and an EV charger, all powered by your own solar panels. The yard is a pollinator-friendly bird paradise of low-maintenance native trees, shrubs and perennials. The house overlooks neighborhood woods in front and in back. There are many HOA-owned amenities just outside the door, including a playground, pond, big field (beloved by 2-legged and 4-legged alike), the best climbing tree in Carrboro, and a wooded trail around the pond. You may choose to claim a plot in the community garden or join the chicken co-op for eggs from chickens you know (and care for) by name. You are not just buying a house, but also a community. And it is a mere mile to the growing action of downtown Carrboro. This is a must-see!
