1603 Sykes Road, Mebane, NC 27302

Calling all fixer-uppers: could this 3-bedroom ranch with a guest house + huge shop on 5 acres in the heart of Mebane be your next big project? Both secluded (on 5+ private acres) and convenient (just minutes from excellent shopping, dining, and I-40), this property is a must-see if you've ever dreamt of an amazing project.

The main house is a sturdy, classic 1950s brick ranch full of character, charm, and surprises. First surprise: the cool beams in the large family room were rescued from the Raleigh Train Depot before it was torn down. Also in the family room: an enormous fireplace that matches the scale of the room.

Enter the main house through a mudroom/drop zone or the foyer. On one side of the house, find a huge open kitchen featuring a cool island and tons of character. The kitchen opens to a massive family room perfect for large gatherings or a quiet afternoon by the fireplace.

Off the kitchen/family room, there's a huge porch/sunroom that spans almost the full width of the house. It's the perfect spot to take in the amazing wooded lot. Off the family room is a hall leading to a cozy living room also featuring a fireplace. There's a powder room, several closets for storage, and an unfinished space ready for your vision.

Three generous bedrooms, including the primary with an ensuite bathroom, round out the main house. Steps away, find the guest house, featuring a large living area, fireplace, and full bathroom. This would also make a great artist's studio, workspace, gym, etc.

(the sky is the limit!). The property also features a huge shed, pond, and lots of gorgeous trees. If you're looking to create a sanctuary that's both private and convenient, with character, this property is ready for its next chapter! It was originally part of an ~18-acre parcel.

It was subdivided, and the north ~13 acres were recently sold for $1,250,000. The south 5+ acres are included in this sale. If you have questions, ask the listing agent.
