Description
One of the loveliest country homes we've seen in a long time, with big porches, old trees and a path leading to a cool, creek-valley of ferns.
On over four lovely acres, the house has three bedrooms, two baths, a cozy, sunken living room with lots of south facing windows and an efficient Jotul wood stove set against a warmed masonry wall.
The living/dining room opens through French doors to a big, screened porch overlooking the creek. A protected rear deck and brick walkway lead to a romantic, vine-covered Italian pergola for dining Al Fresco, and a big fire pit for entertaining country-style!
The downstairs bedroom has a separate entrance off the front porch and its own access to the newly renovated bathroom. Upstairs, French doors create a dramatic entry to a large Primary bedroom with a wall of windows looking into the trees. The walk-in closet has a window, as does the laundry room, and a light-filled Primary bath has dual-sink vanity, separate soaking tub and glass-doored tile shower.
A collaboration between three best friends: the owner—an experienced realtor who found a beautiful south-facing site overlooking a stream, a residential designer working in a leading architect's studio, and a Principal in one of the best building companies in the history of Chapel Hill. Built in 1984 (when construction materials were better!) it was renovated this Spring for the ultimate in health, comfort and energy-efficiency.
Windows face east and south to maximize morning and winter light with unique interior Plantation shutters to control solar gain. The roof is new, insulation has been added overhead to exceed even today's building codes, and the crawlspace sealed air and vapor-tight with heavy, clean, white poly.
Older homes may have new heating/cooling equipment, but almost always blow air through the same dirty duct system. Every foot of this Air Distribution System is brand new and meets the latest post-COVID standard for ventilation and Indoor Air Quality (ASHRAE Std 241 ''Control of Infectious Aerosols'') by replacing all of the air in a room every 15 minutes through a high-efficiency filter that removes mold spores and fine particulate (PM2.5), reducing the potential transmission of seasonal flu, RSV, the common cold and flushing out the CO2 that interrupts deep sleep.
Located 15 minutes from Carrboro, Hillsborough and Saxapahaw, 10 minutes from I-40 and 30 minutes from RDU, this area is rapidly becoming a most desirable and convenient rural haven!
