369 River Rd Pittsboro, NC 27312

What's special - Passive solar design, hardwood floors, granite countertops, ample storage, new roof, custom bath cabinetry. Welcome to 369 River Road--a one-of-a-kind retreat tucked into the countryside, yet conveniently located less than 15 minutes from downtown Pittsboro, 15 minutes to downtown Chapel Hill, and roughly 40 minutes to RTP and Duke Hospital. Rich with character, the home features brick and hardwood floors, granite countertops, a renovated kitchen with hand-laid tile, and a striking custom brick, wood-burning fireplace handcrafted by master masons. Sunlight pours into the sunroom with built-in planters, while the thoughtful layout incorporates passive solar design concepts to maximize natural light and seasonal efficiency--reducing heating and cooling costs. Use of the baby bear woodstove and partial underground living space further enhance efficiency. The kitchen herb planter, along with the primary suite's cedar walk-in closet and custom bath cabinetry, adds timeless, intentional touches throughout. Outside, enjoy ample storage with three sheds: a wired workshop with an air compressor, a boat shed, and a large storage shed for cars and equipment. Topped off by a fenced-in backyard. The home is also wired for a portable generator. A new roof and skylights complete this rare property, made even more special by the freedom of no HOA--homes are not built like this anymore. A hidden gem in a haystack.
