Bright, lightly lived in 3 BR, 2 1/2 BA, Carrboro home with a load of recent updates. Access to an easement leading to preserved forestland on both sides of the mighty Bolin Creek is almost at your doorstep. The Bolin Creek Trail connects with a network that traverses Carrboro and Chapel Hill and offers numerous recreational opportunities. Carrboro Town Martin Luther King Park is next to Fair Oaks. The interior was painted last fall. There are smooth ceilings throughout, with the living room being vaulted, with skylights. This room includes a finished game & entertainment storage. New hardwood floors grace the living, dining, and entry areas. The dining room has crown molding and opens to a sunny deck and backyard. New granite countertops and backsplash were installed in the kitchen in the fall, as well. The appliances are all stainless, including a gas range and a new under-mount sink. Soft sunlight floods through the bay window in the attached breakfast area. Porcelain/ceramic tile floors were installed last autumn in both the kitchen and half bath. All three bedrooms are upstairs. The primary offers wooded views, a walk-in closet, and a double vanity ensuite bath. The other two additional bedrooms share a full bath off the hallway. Direct entry to the kitchen is from the two-car garage. Fair Oaks offers a blend of tranquility and community living. McDougle Elementary and Middle Schools are 1.4 miles away. High School students attend Chapel Hill HS, a grand campus that underwent a massive renovation about 5 years back. Both Highways and byways can smoothly get you all over both towns and beyond. See the Private Remarks for more information and details. Although the mailing address is Chapel Hill, the home is within Carrboro City limits.
