Penn Carol Lane may be the best kept secret in Moore County. Developed in 1987 on just over 18 acres of one of the last remaining downtown horse farms, the subdivision of Weymouth Ridge is made up of 18 lots that tumble down the hill from Ridgeview to Bethesda. The meandering postcard worthy cul-de-sac of Penn Carol was added at that time. Beautiful yards, gracious custom homes, friendly neighbors, and proximity to downtown make this an idyllic Southern Pines location. Nestled on just over three quarters of an acre, this charming cottage welcomes you with its extensive wraparound front porch. Once inside, it is the heart of the home--the two story living room with wood burning fireplace and skylights and the adjoining kitchen--that keeps you there. The two rooms are highlighted by the natural light and captivating views from the wall of windows in each. Double French doors in the living area and another french door in the kitchen open to a covered back porch--perfect for hosting parties or enjoying your private sanctuary. Pocket doors connect the kitchen to the formal dining room which features a tray ceiling and crown molding. The first floor Primary suite includes a fully updated bath with soaking tub, large shower, double sinks, bidet and built in medicine cabinets. The adjacent den/study is a cozy retreat that can be closed off or opened for continuous flow. A laundry room by the garage entry and a centrally located 1/2 bath complete the main level. The two story foyer is highlighted by an open turned staircase that leads to the second floor living spaces. An interior balcony connects the en suite bedroom and walk in attic to the two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and bonus room. A pocket door connects the second upstairs bath to one of the bedrooms allowing for an additional en suite if preferred. If you have been searching for a perfect Southern Pines cottage, this is it!
