For more formal gatherings, the elegant dining room offers the ideal setting to entertain family and friends. The cozy living room features a gas log fireplace and rustic wood beams reclaimed from a historic North Carolina barn creating a perfect blend of character and comfort. Unwind in the sun-drenched three-season sunroom or host a summer cookout on the expanded deck, ideal for outdoor living. Working from home? The private office with pocket doors offers a quiet and productive retreat. The main-floor primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, complete with a private balcony, walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath featuring double vanities with poured porcelain countertops, a garden tub, and a tiled walk-in shower. The finished lower level adds impressive versatility with a spacious rec room, three bedrooms, two full baths, and a full laundry room, perfect for guests, family or multi-generational living.
