Wonderful downtown MidCentury cottage. Notice the character of the geometric double doors, painted to accentuate the details and adorned with decorative antique hardware. As you enter, you are welcomed with a natural stone tile foyer and a flood of light from the distinctive center courtyard, truly the heart of the home and visible from every room. To the right is the combination living and dining room with hardwood floors and a wood burning fireplace. Just beyond is the updated kitchen with new appliances and new slate tile floors that extend into the adjoining gathering space. The floor to ceiling bookcase is ideal for showing off artwork, books and storing games—a wonderful spot for a cup of tea and a good book. Also next to the kitchen is a laundry room with 1/2 bath and door leading to the generous carport with enclosed storage. Tucked in next to the den is the perfect spot for a small study— keeping paperwork hidden but still at your fingertips. The bedroom suites are located on the left side of the foyer. The guest room conveniently connects to the updated hall bath. The Primary features a modern bath with double sinks and a walk in shower with large oversized shower head. Connected to the bedroom is a private owners retreat which leads to a screened in porch and back patio. The back yard is fenced in on three sides and could easily be fully enclosed. Located just steps to downtown Southern Pines, this home would make an ideal pied a terre, or full time residence for those looking for a unique, charming home. Phots showing furniture and fire in fireplace were virtually added. Current owner never used the fireplace.
