This open and sunny transitional home in the closely knit Tyndrum neighborhood & community is remarkable. A quiet 0.86 cul-de-sac lot with established trees and lush lawns from the front yard to the back. Bordering the 12-mile nature trail network of Duke Forest, the property presents a lifestyle that is deeply connected to its natural setting. Numerous updates that buyers value include new Roof in 2019, new HVAC duct work, whole exterior painting, re-sreened porch, 2 new doors on the large side-entry garage. The first floor is anchored by the large great room with soaring ceilings and a bank of windows overlooking the private back yard with its western exposures and classy black perimeter fence. Gardening is ideal in the large raised garden frames; park-like lawns abut wooded areas creating a private oasis behind the house. The fantastically large kitchen w/endless cherry cabinets and extensive counter space provides options for imaginative configurations such as a middle island for meal prep and seating. Features include new stainless appliances in 2021 with double ovens, new dishwasher and refrigerator. The breakfast nook and adjacent large screened porch provide complementary space and are practically part of the back yard. This is first-floor living at its best. The story continues across the recently sanded and refinished oak hardwoods, ALL NEW CARPET on main level. Updated lighting, and fixtures throughout. The quiet first floor primary bedroom with large windows and space for a sitting area is attractive living space. The 1st floor also features an office that serves as a 4th bedroom with built-in cherry shelves and cabinets and a separate dining room in the front of the house. The upper level adds valuable bonus space perfect for a media room, guest retreat, gym, office, or creative studio. Plenty of storage space and a walk in 2-level attic. This established Durham neighborhood has a brand new Frontier fiber network. The front of the neighborhood is flanked by 2 lovely ponds on either side of the entrance. Can't top this location - just minutes from Duke U. and Chapel Hill.
