Property Description
Enter up the drive and this beautifully updated farmhouse immediately draws you in with mature oaks shading the front yard and an expansive covered porch spanning the front of the home; this is the kind of porch made for a swing, a row of rocking chairs and quiet afternoons in the shade! Step inside and the home's historic roots give way to a surprisingly spacious, updated interior that feels far more modern than its age might suggest. Refinished hardwood floors lead through the entry, where an open staircase with decorative ironwork rises beneath a striking arched window that pours natural light through both levels of the home. On the main level just off of the foyer, the inviting family room centers around a stone accented wood-burning fireplace providing both cozy ambiance and a functional source of supplemental heat. A rustic wood mantel adds even more character and is believed to have been reclaimed from original structures on the property. A separate den continues the home's farmhouse character with a wet bar and additional rustic barn wood accents. Continue into the spacious, well equipped, open kitchen and dining area where there is plenty of room for everyday living, entertaining and gathering around the table. Granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, pantry storage and a center island that anchors the kitchen; topped by a hanging pot rack that adds both function and a subtle farmhouse touch. The dining table may remain with the home and is said to have been handcrafted by a former owner from repurposed lumber found on the property, adding another meaningful touch to the home's farmhouse history and feel. A rear mudroom with convenient storage opens directly to the expansive deck where there is plenty of room for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. Two bedrooms and a full bath are also located on the main level, affording flexibility for guests or home office space. A centrally located laundry room adds everyday convenience with built-in shelving for storage and a handy laundry chute connected directly from the upstairs primary bathroom. Upstairs, the light-filled landing leads to two generously sized bedrooms, each with a private ensuite bath. The primary bedroom feels like a retreat of its own, featuring a garden tub tucked into a separate alcove, adjoining bath with shower and walk-in closet. Sliding glass doors open to a private covered balcony, the perfect spot to enjoy a quiet morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. Outside, a detached garage adds even more versatility, with unfinished space where previous owners began improvements including rough-ins for plumbing, electrical and bathroom accommodations. An older farm building remains toward the back of the home as well. Both structures are being conveyed as-is, giving the next owner opportunities for storage, a workshop, hobby space or future projects tailored to their own needs. Highlighted by 3.42+/- acres, the property offers a pleasing mix of open lawn, mature shade trees and gentle rolling land with room for gardening, recreation, fencing for animals or simply enjoying the extra space and privacy. County records reflect the home dates to around 1901, with an extensive renovation completed in 2006. More recently, the current sellers have thoughtfully refreshed the home, renewing the interior and exterior spaces while preserving the features and character that make this property so distinctive. Enjoy the feel of country living without giving up convenient access to surrounding employment, shopping and service centers. This property is ideally positioned for travel west to Raleigh/Wake County, as well as Rocky Mount/Wilson to the east.
