Property Description
Step back in time without sacrificing comfort. This lovingly maintained 1935 gem, in the downtown Southern Pines area, radiates the kind of character and charm that simply not built today. From the moment you arrive, the sweeping circular gravel driveway and brick-paved motor court set the tone for something truly special. Inside, rich original hardwood floors, which are in excellent condition, anchor most rooms, while intricate woodwork details tell the story of a bygone era of craftsmanship. A soaring great room ceiling, with hand hewn beams, add a bit of visual flair. Both bedrooms offer the luxury of private ensuite full bathrooms, which have been partially updated -- a rare and thoughtful feature that blends vintage appeal with modern convenience. The partially finished basement offers room for additional sleeping accommodations, or a rec room space. There is a large floored attic with convenient built in ladder for easy access to all your storage space! Step outside to enjoy not one, but two exceptional outdoor living spaces: a generous open front patio perfect for morning coffee and neighborly conversation, and a large covered rear patio ideal for entertaining year-round. The beautifully landscaped grounds, further enhanced by charming brick walkways leading to convenient storage sheds, and a large rear parking area round out the property's impressive functionality. Move-in ready and meticulously cared for over the decades, this is a one-of-a-kind property that offers timeless elegance just minutes from the shops, dining, and charm of downtown Southern Pines. Homes like this don't come along often -- don't miss your chance to own a true piece of local history.
