Property Description
Extraordinary Southern Classic backs up to Jordan Lake's hundreds of preserved wooded acres; yet, just 20 minutes to RDU airport, 20 minutes to Pittsboro and 10 minutes to downtown Apex! Built in 1929, this picturesque farmhouse was saved from development and moved to its current location in 2000 with upgrades and additions at that time. It once served as both the home and office for one of Apex's first dentists! An extra deep front porch welcomes you into the inviting foyer. 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a third floor bonus room and beautiful light filled office area feature in the original structure. Many historic details: picture hanging rails, floors, doors, hardware, claw-foot tub - even a fold out ironing board! There's also a custom wood stove insert for cozy nights. Added in the back is a huge studio / gym / games room / shop - over 1,000 sq ft including a large balcony on 3 sides has so many possibilities! And it adjoins a large brick patio and a Trex topped deck. There's so much to enjoy outside! The home sits on just shy of 3 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, featuring mature trees and perennial gardens as well as a historic tobacco barn. There's also a custom chicken coop, large plunge pool, koi pond with waterfall, fenced backyard for the dogs, garden space, blueberry, blackberry and fig bushes, bluetooth irrigation, and even an old corn crib. It has been certified as a bird friendly habitat by the New Hope Bird Alliance. There is walking access to White Oak Creek, a waterway that serves as a regular nesting site for bald eagles and connects to Jordan Lake, a great local spot for boating and hiking. In 2011, the home made local history again when it was featured in the independent film The Carrington Event as the home of the fictional Carrington family. It's also included in the Chatham County Historical Association's catalog of homes. Come see this one! Virtual Video: https://youtu.be/lICcVKgSZ84.
