Back on market, buyers backed out. Personal reasons. Showings start Saturday. This is not your ordinary home. Welcome to this mid-century beauty, where you'll find charm, interest and an invitation to enjoy the surrounding gardens through walls of windows. It was originally built in 1957 and reimagined in 1977 by Sam Hitt, director of UNC's Health Sciences Library and avid gardener. With large, flexible living and dining spaces, this house easily allows for graceful entertaining in addition to casual family life. The Mexican tiles throughout the first floor are an eco-friendly alternative to traditional flooring, which keeps the house wonderfully cool in the summertime. You'll find built-in bookcases and window seats at every turn. The main floor primary bedroom is a true suite with ensuite bath and a large office. Come see this truly unique home for yourself! Relax in your hacienda. According to Orange County, since this property was platted prior to 1989 you have the potential to build a second home for multi-generational families (or rental).
