A Touch of Williamsburg in Southern Pines, North Carolina

Here is your chance to own one of the thirty-one cottages nestled in the Village in the Woods in Southern Pines, North Carolina.  Built as a residential community for those 48 years and older, this development was inspired by the townhomes of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, and is conveniently located between the quaint downtown Southern Pines area with its boutique shopping and numerous restaurants and the state of the art Moore County Regional hospital and supporting medical clinics.  Great attention has been paid to reproducing the unique ambiance of a colonial village with its tree lined streets, brick walkways, and walking paths through mature azalea and dogwood gardens.  This particular unit also enjoys peaceful views of a delightful pond that attracts a pair of white ducks and a wide array of colorful native birds.

These homes are rarely offered for sale because of their high demand and this one has been in the hands of its original owner who lived and traveled throughout the world since it was first built in 1976.  The exterior is built of beaded clapboard with three dormer windows and was freshly painted in May, 2008, while the interior boasts of its original oak floors in all the living areas except in the kitchen and bathrooms.  The original wood burning fireplace with its slate surround and hearth evokes the feel of a crackling fire even when not in use.  Sliding glass doors to the large screened in porch provide delightful views of the tranquil pond from the formal dining area.  The kitchen was upgraded in 1994 with all new appliances, cabinets and corian countertops and sink and is served by a spacious pantry.  All the doors are solid six panel colonial and the windows are insulated by Anderson.  The Master Bedroom Suite has three closets, double corian sinks and a tiled step-in shower with a sitting bench.  The main floor Guest Bedroom has a wall of built-in shelving since it was used as Library and is served by a full Bath with a tub/shower and newer corian vanity. 

The upper level consists of two guest bedrooms with a full tub/shower bathroom.  Doors from both bedrooms provide extensive eave storage.  The lower level consists of a heated/cooled Utility Room with a washer and dryer, utility sink and freezer and several shelving units.  There is also a spacious unheated brick floor workshop/storage area that can serve many purposes.

There is a one-time Association Transfer Fee of $1,500 to be paid for by the Buyer at time of closing.  A $225 monthly Association Fee covers dwelling insurance, basic cable, all outside dwelling maintenance and landscaping including irrigation water, private road upkeep, scheduled exterior painting, termite protection, periodic cleaning of walks, stairs and gutters, and common area liability insurance.  Buyers must review the rules, regulations and Covenants and Restrictions with the Association Board and be approved prior to closing.
