Property Description
Don't miss this rare opportunity to buy your next home in a neighborhood where property seldom comes up for sale! This unusual late mid-century modern contemporary house is conveniently located less then 7 miles from Durham (Duke) and Chapel Hill (UNC), around 15 miles from RDU Airport, and just over 25 miles from the North Carolina State Capitol Building in downtown Raleigh, but still somehow manages to feel like you are lost in a forest. The quality of light is amazing in this house, and the layout and architecture are unique and appealing. This home served its previous owner well for many years, and with some updating and modernization to your taste, this is the kind of home you will be glad to call your own for a very long time.
