About this home
Tucked beneath a canopy of trees at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this original Gail Crabtree custom home feels like a hidden woodland cottage in the heart of White Oak Park. Designed and built in 1990 by the award-winning local builder, the home reflects the thoughtful craftsmanship, enduring quality, and deep connection to nature that have made Gail Crabtree's homes so admired throughout the Triangle. Opportunities to own one of her original homes are exceptionally rare. With its wrap-around front porch, peaceful woodland setting, and warm, inviting interiors, the home evokes the timeless charm of a cozy woodland cottage. Fresh paint throughout creates a bright, refreshed interior while preserving the home's authentic character. Original hardwood floors and luxury vinyl plank flooring span the main level, complementing the home's warm, comfortable aesthetic. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a sunlit ensuite bath that feels like a peaceful getaway at the start and end of each day. A versatile main-level flex room offers endless possibilities as a home office, playroom, guest room, or potential fourth bedroom. Every room feels thoughtfully designed to embrace natural light, comfortable living, and beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. A magnificent Japanese maple frames the front walkway, creating an extra special welcome home. The wrap-around porch invites quiet mornings with a cup of coffee and the gentle sounds of nature, while the private screened back porch provides a tranquil retreat. Established perennial gardens bloom in succession throughout the seasons, creating an ever-changing landscape of color and texture. When the fragrant gardenias are in bloom, their sweet perfume fills the yard, while camellias provide spectacular blooms twice each year, extending the beauty well beyond a single season. The fenced backyard extends the home's cottage feel outdoors, where an intimate patio and fire pit create the perfect setting for relaxing beneath the stars. Surrounded by mature woods and abundant birdsong, it is a place to slow down, gather with friends, or simply enjoy the quiet rhythm of nature. The remaining landscape offers endless opportunities for the next owner to enhance an already extraordinary setting. While the property feels like a secluded woodland escape, everyday conveniences are just moments away. Located only 0.6 miles from Wegmans, shopping, dining, and daily essentials, the home also offers quick access to UNC, Duke, RTP, and downtown Chapel Hill and Durham. Some homes simply provide a place to live. This one invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel at home from the moment you arrive. Lovingly cared for and thoughtfully designed, it's a home that welcomes you in—and one that's sure to capture your heart. Offered at $539,000, this is more than a home—it's a place to create lasting memories, celebrate life's everyday moments, and enjoy the warmth, comfort, and character of a truly special woodland retreat....
