Beyond the subdivisions and the cul de sacs full of newly-built homes, out past the stone entryways of the curbed-lined neighborhoods and the swimming pool communities lies a different kind of living. Truly Southern living does still exist in the Triangle region and is just a short drive from North Carolina’s capital city.
One of Beth McKinney’s newest listings is just one of these Historic Southern gems. Located at 1515 NC Highway 751 in Apex is a gorgeous example of Southern style
living, with front and back porches for rocking chairs and hot summer evenings with ice-cold sweet tea. Gorgeous fireplaces and genuine/original pine hardwood floors are proof of its authenticity.
A short jaunt North off of Hwy 64 on 751 takes you to this great home at which you’re greeted by a fence-lined gravel driveway, an open field and a stocked fish pond with a dock and a platform diving board. There’s a beautifully restored and decorated barn that is currently used as a gift shop (which was featured in Southern Living magazine), in addition to all the wonderful features of a sturdy-built 1860s home on 3.4 acres.
But this phenomenal home, which backs to Lake Jordan Core of Engineer Land, also features modern conveniences and updates including skylights, tons of kitchen counter and cabinet space in addition to a huge center island, ceiling fans, a garden tub and so much more. Calling this home Charming would be an understatement, and it’s well worth the short drive to see it and hopefully make it your own!
