This cute little guesthouse as friendly deer, bunnies, birds, safety, tranquility, quiet, and abundant natural light from soaring ceilings and massive stacked windows. It also is car-free friendly, with numerous walking trails (not on any maps) networking through the neighborhood that immediately connect you by foot to : A.) Miles of unpaved woodland trails along Bolin Creek and Carolina North Forest, B.) Downtown village of Carrboro with its numerous eateries, cafes, creative arts scene, and farmer's market, and C.) Two different bus stops close by, for Line N or Line F, of the Chapel Hill free public transport system to get you around town and to campus. Vehicle parking on the property is available but highly limited, and shared with the primary resident, the Lady of Shalott. The guesthouse is freshly renovated to include a solid marble backsplash in the kitchenette. (It's gorgeous.) The crawlspace was also newly upgraded to ensure no chance of any mold, for those with sensitivities. Other amenities include a tiled entryway, easy-clean electric stove and oven, full-sized stainless steel fridge, two ceiling fans, a dimmer-switch light and built-in heater in the bathroom for cozy showers or relaxing baths, and a massive walk-in closet with your own personal washer and dryer at hand. Available furnished as is, or current furniture removed. One or two indoor cats welcome, other small animals case-by-case. Trash/recycling bins are shared with primary, and a compost bin is on the property for anyone wanting to give that a go. For those eco-minded, the HVAC system can create separate temperature zones, using the 2 different mini-splits and closing a pocket door. The huge windows on the E/N/W sides of the cottage ensure views of the woods, daily local deer, and bird baths. The windows also have reflective film added to improve privacy and thermal efficiency. Or you can just go sit outside in the Adirondack chairs or the grass, and absorb the sun and nature!
