This home elevates the raised ranch genre to a new level. Every surface of this house has been upgraded, from the bottom up - seriously. Prepare to witness your agent being on cloud nine about the sealed crawlspace, newer HVAC and roof, and even the most hardened of house-hunters will be pretty jazzed about the upgraded plumbing, electrical, and windows. An open floor plan will help you promote your entertaining skills, but the real joy will be in the day-to-day ease of use and functionality. A stellar sunroom addition boosts your livable square footage and will uplift any seasonal depression come winter. An expansive deck provides a smooth indoor-outdoor transition and locale to survey the verdant, fenced-in backyard and is certain to become the epicenter of your heightened bird-watching game. A sturdy wired shed could easily pivot to become a workshop or just for somewhere to stash bikes for the sweet rides you can take just outside the door. When summer thunderstorms arise, a new generator will alleviate any concerns of power outages, while easy carport access will make sure you and your groceries stay dry. The house sits perched on a hilltop and provides both privacy from the street and treehouse like view. A sunny front yard along with tons of raised beds provide a ready canvas for you to step up your gardening game. After the work is done, you can easily survey your efforts from high upon the front porch with a refreshing beverage in hand. All of this on top of being a highly accessible and convenient location close to Downtown Durham, Chapel Hill, and just steps away from Durham Academy's upper school.
