Come on in! Welcome home to this ''like-new'' cottage in Southern Pines on a generous 0.68-acre lot just outside the Highland Trails neighborhood.

Perfect for a young family, retiree, or rental investment opportunity, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features quartz countertops and an island. The split floor plan includes a luxurious en suite attached to the primary bedroom, along with two sizable guest bedrooms and a guest bath.

Relax in your fenced-in backyard on the concrete patio, perfect for grilling, or get your hands dirty in the garden harvesting this year's tomatoes and vegetables. Bring your hens and enjoy collecting fresh eggs each morning from the chicken coop that conveys with the property!

Wander through your wooded backyard oasis, or take a short jog over to Weymouth Woods and experience miles of preserved trails and forests just outside your neighborhood.

This home is also less than a 30-minute drive to Fort Bragg for active-duty military personnel and just minutes from downtown Southern Pines for boutique shopping, culinary treats, and nightlife.

The owners have fully fenced a portion of the backyard and added a Watts Pure water filter and pH balancer to the well. They also added additional sod to the front yard, installed gutters on both the home and detached garage, and upgraded the kitchen with a desirable backsplash that beautifully accents the quartz countertops. The washer and dryer convey, and the property has NO city taxes!

This home is also within a 15-minute drive of the world-renowned Pinehurst Resort and the equestrian haven of the Walthour-Moss Foundation.

Enjoy economical vacations just 2.5 hours away in the majestic North Carolina mountains or along the beautiful coastal beaches.
