Description

Secluded Woodland Retreat with Pool, In-Law Suite & Endless Potential* Embrace the tranquility of this private 4.34-acre woodland estate tucked away just minutes from historic downtown Hillsborough and a short drive to Chapel Hill. Set amid towering trees, a babbling creek, and abundant wildlife, this 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath home offers a rare blend of natural serenity and prime accessibility—close to I-85, I-40, and the Triangle’s renowned universities, medical centers, and cultural attractions. Built in 1986, this well-maintained 3,906 sq. ft. residence invites you to personalize its classic bones with modern touches. Imagine transforming the open kitchen—already equipped with granite tile counters and stainless steel appliances—into a gourmet chef’s haven. The spacious living areas, dotted with large windows, provide a front-row seat to your wooded surroundings, blending indoor comfort with the beauty of the outdoors. Out back, soak up summer days in the 16×32 ft. in-ground pool and adjacent hot tub. Two expansive decks overlook the whisper of a creek below, offering the perfect backdrop for grilling, entertaining friends, or simply unwinding with a quiet cup of coffee as deer meander through your backyard. For extended family or guests, the separate 1-bedroom in-law suite above the 3-car garage ensures both comfort and privacy. This home’s solid structure and generous proportions create a blank canvas awaiting your cosmetic updates—fresh paint, new flooring, and custom finishes can transform it into the custom masterpiece you’ve always envisioned. With flexible move-in options and a motivated seller, the path to your dream home has never been clearer. Don’t miss the opportunity to claim this sought-after balance of privacy, acreage, and convenience in one of North Carolina’s most desirable communities. Schedule your private tour today and discover how you can bring this woodland retreat to life!
