70 Sugar Gum Lane Unit 5, Pinehurst, NC 28374

Whenever someone mentions the little treehouses by the lake in Pinehurst, they're usually met with a smile and remark of, ''Oh, those are so cute.'' The treehouses are quickly becoming part of Pinehurst's history, as you will see them dotted on the north side of the lake and sprinkled along Pinehurst's world-renowned golf course. Unit 5 in the Brae Burn community is sandwiched between both and has an excellent view of the lake and of the 16th hole of Pinehurst No. 3. The semi-wrap around deck is perfect for taking in both views, but it can also easily be done from the comfort inside with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. At just under 800 sq ft, it has an eat-in kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, and two full bathrooms. Don't let the size fool you, though. The vaulted, exposed-beam ceiling make the rooms feel much more expansive and open. In the ''trunk'' of the treehouse you'll find the laundry and storage. The homeowner's association takes care of the exterior of the unit and all the beautiful landscaping, for true maintenance free living. The Village is just a short golf cart ride away and downtown Southern Pines is just a quick jot down the road. Don't miss your opportunity to own a unique piece of Pinehurst history.
