Why buyers kept saving it

Set on more than three wooded acres near University Lake, this four-bedroom home feels private but stays close to downtown Carrboro. The exterior got real attention: new cedar and HardiePlant siding, updated windows, and proper drainage work. Inside, oak hardwood floors run through an open layout anchored by a wood-burning stove. The kitchen opens to an eat-in dining area and out to an upgraded rear deck overlooking the trees. A first-floor primary bedroom has vaulted ceilings and a big walk-in closet. Downstairs, a private office and a large workshop add space most homes simply don't have.

From the listing: “Discover the perfect blend of privacy, charm, and modern comfort in this turnkey 4-bedroom, 3-bath home, nestled on more than three wooded acres just beyond University Lake and minutes from the heart of downtown…”
