265 W Illinois Avenue, Southern Pines, NC 28387

Welcome to Oakleigh Cottage! Built in 1911, this beautiful historic home was renovated in 2011 (including plumbing, mechanical, and electric) and has been wonderfully maintained for her next owners. The front porch has plenty of space for rockers and there's a lovely cross breeze! Tons of original features including the front door, 6 panel interior doors and hardware, trim work, windows, and beadboard! Ask your agent for the home utility sheet if historic windows make you nervous about utility costs - they shouldn't! The living room boasts a beautiful brick fireplace (non-functional). The kitchen has a natural gas range and updated appliances, and beautiful black leathered granite countertops. Off the kitchen, there is access to the large back deck! Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms - the primary and a 2nd large bedroom, and a bathroom with the original tub. The office nook in the primary bedroom was once a sleeping porch! This home also has a basement. Here you'll find another bedroom, a den and another full bathroom! The basement has interior access to the attached shed storage. Additionally, there is a shed in the yard for more storage, and the chicken coop will convey (bring your own chickens!). The yard also has a mature blueberry bush and white peach tree, plus many dogwoods and gardenias! You will love 265 W Illinois and the short walk to downtown Southern Pines and all it has to offer! *Tax records note 1890 as year built, seller research has found the home was built in 1911.
