Nestled directly across from a peaceful community park and gazebo in Kitts Creek, this charming craftsman cottage offers a rare blend of village-style warmth and rare privacy. Mornings here begin on the inviting rocking-chair front porch, sipping coffee while enjoying unobstructed views of the neighborhood green space. Unlike many homes in the community, the back of the property features a fully fenced yard with a sleek black aluminum fence that backs directly to a tranquil wooded buffer. It is a bright, sun-filled sanctuary designed for effortless daily living, relaxation, and seamless entertaining. Step inside to an airy layout grounded by rich engineered hardwoods and washed in natural light. The entry leads into a bright family room centered around a cozy gas log fireplace, pre-wired for surround sound for movie nights. Moving toward the heart of the home, a built-in pocket office and butler`s pantry keep daily organization simple and out of sight. The layout flows into the open kitchen and dining spaces at the rear of the home. The kitchen shines with granite countertops, a spacious center island, classic wood cabinetry, a gas range, and a Reverse Osmosis water filtration system. From the dining area and breakfast nook, a door opens to a covered rear patio, perfect for shaded afternoon relaxing or alfresco dining overlooking the private backyard. Upstairs, all three bedrooms provide comfortable private retreats. The primary suite feels like a resort escape with its soaring tray ceiling, massive walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower. Fresh interior paint, custom bedroom wallpaper, and freshly sanitized carpeting give the entire home a crisp, move-in-ready feel. Modern comforts are backed by key functional maintenance, including a heat pump updated in 2024, central forced air from 2014, a gas water heater replaced about 4 years ago, and a new dishwasher about a year ago. Complete with an oversized two-car garage accessed via a private rear alley, this home offers a complete lifestyle upgrade. Step outside your door to enjoy resort-style neighborhood amenities, including a swimming pool, clubhouse, fitness center, tennis courts, dog parks, and walking paths, all just minutes from Research Triangle Park, RDU Airport, and local dining and shopping.
