Property Description
A nature lover's paradise, 205 Cates Farm offers a timeless floor plan, stellar upgrades, multiple flex spaces, and a very coveted location! Right away you will notice the lush yard and upgraded fiber cement siding at this Chapel Hill oasis. A landscaper's delight, native bushes and trees have been maintained and flourishing here for decades. Once inside, you are greeted with freshly refinished and thoughtfully stained hardwoods throughout most of the sprawling first floor as well as fresh paint from top to bottom. Upgraded, double hung, ProVia windows and external doors with lifetime warranty give this home the continued low-maintenance feel. In addition to the environmentally friendly widows and doors, you have two HVACs, one only 1 year old and the other only 5 years old. The formal living room is big and bright. The dining room is intimate and leads you to the large kitchen with loads of counter and cabinet space, a gas cooktop, Corian countertops, under cabinet lighting, updated appliances, a pretty bay window, 42'' cabinets, and a side entry door to the deck. The laundry room and garage entry are also at this end, keeping your indoor space tidy with easy mudroom access. A spacious sunroom overlooks all the back yard has to offer (which is lot - we will get to that in a minute). Next to your sunroom is your equally cheery family room. With vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and tons of natural light, this big space also happens to be very intimate. Rounding out the variety of great spaces on the first floor is a cozy office with French doors. Upstairs you will find brand new carpet and four generously sized bedrooms. Your primary bedroom suite is grand with French doors, a large walk in closet (with natural light from a window) and big, bright bathroom with tile floors. Three more bedrooms grace this floor - they all offer plentiful space and storage. The secondary bathroom has two sinks! A special surprise awaits in the 4th bedroom - a large walk in storage room with shelving for all of your storage needs. One of my favorite things about this lovely home is the back yard. Your choice of trail from the front: storybook pavers or a mulch path, the serene views cannot be denied. Your back deck is Trex decking - giving you freedom from the maintenance of traditional wood. Also, the there is a gas line that can be hooked up to your grill for a constant supply of cooking fuel! As if the deck space wasn't enough, you have an expansive lower patio overlooking the tranquil forest to the west. 205 Cates Farm has everything you have been looking for in your next home and less than 2 miles from the heart of downtown Carrboro - with sidewalks leading the way. Did I mention the neighborhood school is right across the street from this beloved neighborhood? Take a tour of this move-in ready gem today!
