Property Description

This custom built 80's Contemporary has been lovingly cared for by one family since 1985 and is ready for a new owner to enjoy the home. The generously sized home with four bedrooms, two fireplaces; one double-sided, and a two-car garage, has a unique feature. The new owner of this home will also have the honor of taking the seat of Mayor of Fritzerland. Fritzerland is a large garden railway which winds up the hill from the home. There are tracks, model buildings, scaled landscaping, a pond and waterfall. Included with the railway is a workshop filled with train accessories, workbenches, and a storage area. For life size residents, the location of the home is minutes from main travel routes, parks, the Woodcroft Swim and Tennis Club, the American Tobacco Trail, and the Southpoint shopping area. Mature landscaping and manicured plant beds surround the home. A large, multi-level deck and views of a small creek that runs near the back of the property make time spent outdoors enjoyable. The interior has high ceilings, many windows, an abundance of architectural details, and many built-in options for display and storage. A large foyer welcomes guests. The living room is a generous space with high ceilings and one of the home's gas log fireplaces.
