ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Step into a time capsule in the best way possible! This 1965 brick ranch is serving peak retro perfection, and it's been lovingly preserved by just one owner. If you've ever dreamed of orange Formica countertops paired with a matching lima-bean-shaped breakfast table (AND matching mini blinds, of course), your moment has arrived. The vibe continues with textured orange glass windows in the office, rich wood paneling that sets the mood just right, sparkle ceiling tiles, and terrazzo flooring greeting you at the door. The primary suite is a retro fantasy: a huge bay window, walk-in closet, a separate built-in vanity with sink, and quite possibly the most incredible medicine cabinet you've ever seen. Throw in pink carpet and a pink bathroom? YES PLEASE! Beyond the style, this home delivers serious substance. The sturdy brick ranch construction, replacement windows for great insulation, and a sunroom with crackle brick floor make it as practical as it is cool. The floorplan is fantastic, offering tons of flexibility with multiple living areas, storage galore, and a full basement complete with wood stove, workshop, and full bathroom. An oversized attached two-car carport with built-in cabinets and workspace adds even more functionality, all set on a private 2.82-acre wooded lot. Vintage charm, incredible layout, and rock-solid construction...she's got it all!

Stardust Farm: Where time slows, light shimmers, and the land remembers! There are places that feel discovered, and places that feel destined. Stardust Farm is the latter: A nearly 14-acre sanctuary where warm sunlight filters through ancient hardwoods, moonbeams sweep across open fields, and the air carries the quiet wisdom of a land loved for generations. At the heart of this enchanted property rests a historic farmhouse, accompanied by a cozy cabin and beautifully renovated one-bedroom home, creating a rare trio that forms a true heritage compound. Each dwelling has its own story, its own rhythm, yet all are united by the serenity of the landscape and the gentle hush of nature that surrounds them. This is land that has been tended with devotion; organically maintained for many years, the dedication shows its purity. The ground feels alive underfoot. Majestic trees create cathedral-like canopies. A tranquil koi pond glimmers like a hidden jewel. Everywhere you look, the property invites you to wander, explore, breathe, and simply be. Stardust Farm offers ancillary income from its current rental homes, but its true value lies in its potential: The ability to subdivide, expand, or create a one-of-a-kind retreat, gathering place, or legacy estate. From intimate weddings to wellness escapes, from compounds to visionary builds. The land welcomes every possibility. All of this magic exists within a gated, remarkably private setting with a subdividable lot and NO HOA, yet remains perfectly located: less than 3 miles from I-40 and minutes from downtown Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, and Carrboro. Stardust Farm is more than a property, it is a story waiting for its next author, a treasure seeking its next caretaker for this once-in-a-lifetime offering that glows with both sun and moon. There is simply nothing else like it! Make an appointment now and become entranced in a bit of its magic that you too can call home.
