Experience the perfect blend of classic New England charm and modern luxury in this meticulously updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom Cape, situated on over 12 serene acres in Durham. This property offers a rare "best of both worlds" opportunity: maintain a massive private forest retreat for outdoor enthusiasts, or take advantage of a prepared site plan to subdivide and create an additional buildable lot-perfect for a family compound or investment. Step inside through the functional mudroom-located off the oversized 2-car garage-to find an effortless open-concept flow. The brand-new designer kitchen features premium quartz countertops, custom tile backsplash, upgraded stainless steel appliances, and a large center island overlooking a spacious dining area. Gleaming new and refinished hardwood floors flow throughout the main level. The bright, airy living room is anchored by a cozy fireplace with a wood stove insert and massive windows that flood the space with natural light. A versatile first-floor bedroom and a fully renovated bathroom with high-end tile work offer excellent flexibility. Upstairs, a beautiful staircase with new railings leads to two expansive bedrooms with abundant closet space and a shared, designer-renovated bathroom. The finished lower level provides the ultimate "bonus" space, complete with a custom wet bar, cedar closet, dedicated laundry zone, and ample unfinished storage. Just unpack your bags and call this place home!
