About This Home

There's something special about a home that invites you to slow down from the very beginning, and this one does exactly that. Built by Homes by Dickerson and perfectly positioned on a corner lot overlooking one of 751 South's pocket parks, this home blends thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and a setting that feels both peaceful and connected. The oversized front porch, complete with a swinging daybed, sets the tone, offering the perfect place to start your mornings or unwind in the evenings while taking in wooded views beyond the park. With its west-facing front porch, this is a front row seat to some incredible sunsets. Inside, soaring 11-foot ceilings on the main level create an immediate sense of openness, while the home's thoughtful orientation allows natural light to pour in throughout the day. With the full length of the home facing south, sunlight fills the living spaces in a way that feels both energizing and warm, a standout feature for those who truly value bright, light-filled interiors. Large windows framed by plantation shutters enhance this even further, casting a soft, natural glow across the LVP flooring and highlighting the detailed crown molding and inviting gas fireplace that anchors the space. The kitchen is both elevated and functional, featuring quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry that extends to the ceiling, a walk-in pantry, and a suite of Frigidaire Gallery appliances. The seamless flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas makes everyday living feel effortless. Just off the dining space, French doors open to the outdoors, creating that easy indoor-outdoor connection that fits so naturally with the way we live in North Carolina. One of the standout features of the home is the first-floor owner's suite, offering a private and convenient retreat. Upstairs, a spacious loft or flex area provides the perfect additional living space, whether used as a media room, home office, or playroom, giving the home versatility to fit a variety of lifestyles. Thoughtful details continue throughout, from ceiling fans in key spaces to custom shelving in the garage. Even the approach to the garage has been considered, with a covered walkway connecting it to the home, offering protection from the elements while maintaining the home's clean architectural feel. Beyond its beauty, this home is built with efficiency and longevity in mind. As an Energy Star certified property, it includes a tankless water heater, whole home water filtration system and a sealed crawlspace, providing comfort and peace of mind for years to come. Living in 751 South means more than just owning a beautiful home, it's embracing a lifestyle. With 14 pocket parks, two playgrounds, a community garden, and miles of walkable streets, the neighborhood is designed for connection and everyday enjoyment. Residents also enjoy a resort-style pool, kids pool, clubhouse, and fitness center, along with a vibrant calendar of events including live music, outdoor movies, wine clubs, and seasonal celebrations. All of this, just minutes from the American Tobacco Trail, Southpoint Mall, I-40, RTP, Chapel Hill, and Downtown Durham. This is a home that truly lives as well as it looks, where every detail has been considered and every space feels like it was meant to be enjoyed. OVER $30,000 OF POST PURCHASE UPGRADES!
