You will fall in love with this lovingly-cared-for "modern farmhouse" in like-new condition. High-end finishes include luxury vinyl flooring and plantation shutters. Built-ins are everywhere including custom bookcases in bedroom 3 making it ideal for a home office or library.

The kitchen is a chef's delight. Double-stacked Shaker-style white kitchen cabinets reach to the ceiling and feature a top tier with glass fronts. A central island provides prep space for the cook in the family, and a place for family and friends to sample the results.

The enormous kitchen pantry is sure to please. Appliances are stainless steel and include gas range, refrigerator, dishwasher, built-in microwave, and a stylish vertical vent hood. Fixtures are brushed nickel and give the home a contemporary look. You will appreciate the thoughtful paint choices including accent walls throughout the home.

The home lives large with over 2,500 square feet of well-laid-out space. A delightful front porch with Craftsman-style columns greets you and your guests. Do you love to entertain? This home features an open-concept floorplan with huge living room, kitchen, and dining areas all flowing seamlessly together.

For outdoor entertaining and relaxing, step into a screened porch overlooking the verdant backyard. There are two generously-sized bedrooms on the main level. Both have large closets. They both directly access a buddy-style full bath. There is also a powder room on this level.

The laundry room, off the kitchen, serves as a mudroom entryway with a door to the outside, a sink with countertop, lots of windows, and tall wainscot with hooks for coats and bookbags. The staircase is conveniently located at the center of the home. Upstairs you will find the spacious primary suite featuring a large bedroom with a seating area, a luxurious bath with large shower, and two pedestal sinks.

The large primary suite closet has wonderful custom built-ins. The bonus flex/room on this level would make a great media room, game room, playroom, or home office. There is a large walk-in attic, adjacent. The backyard is fully fenced, perfect for play and pets.

There is a 13x24 detached garage. It would be great as a workshop. Located close to NC-55, Cornwallis Road, and Fayetteville Street, your new home is a short drive to The Streets at Southpoint.
