Location, location, location! The Hills at Southpoint is minutes to I-40, The Streets at Southpoint, Duke, UNC and RDU International Airport, and so much more. There is direct access to the American Tobacco Trail from this neighborhood, which also provides an Olympic-size pool, clubhouse, tennis courts and playground.  A covered front porch, wooded backdrop and peaceful indoor-outdoor living set the stage for this spacious ranch-style home with a full basement. Inside, the foyer opens to a formal dining room and a private office/living room with crown molding, chair rail and double doors for privacy. Wood floors flow through the open kitchen, breakfast area and family room, where built-in bookcases and triple windows frame the serene backyard views.  The kitchen features granite countertops, contrasting cabinetry, a large island with farmhouse sink, 42-inch upper cabinets, tile backsplash, gas cooktop, stainless steel hood, wall oven, microwave, pantry and refrigerator. A bay-window breakfast nook overlooks the adjoining common area and woods.  The main-level primary suite features hand-scraped engineered wood flooring, a double-tray ceiling and a spacious walk-in closet with built-ins. The updated bath offers a double sink vanity, tile flooring, a soaking tub and a glass-enclosed shower with subway tile, bench seat, dual shower heads and handheld sprayer. Two additional bedrooms on the main level share a buddy bath, also updated, with a tile walk-in shower, glass enclosure and granite countertops.  The basement is mostly finished and offers a home theater with surround sound speakers and wood floors, along with a wine cellar. The remaining open space is huge and flexible: living room, home gym, homeschool room or whatever you need it to be. Upper-level and lower-level decks add space for entertaining. Fresh paint, new carpet. 2 car side load garage with storage.
