2715 Old Sugar Road

Showings start on Friday 3/27 at 5:00PM! Mornings on the 36-foot front porch. Evenings around the fire. Windows open to the trees. Entertain on the back deck or stone patio as the night settles in. This place leans hard into that laid-back mountain cabin energy -- yet you're still just minutes from the city: ~7 mins to Duke, ~11 min to Downtown Durham and DPAC, ~14 min to Southpoint Mall, ~15 min to RTP, and ~20 min to RDU! This 3-bedroom, 3-full bath home with about 2,200 square feet sits on .56 acres surrounded by mature trees that create a quiet, tucked-away setting. Vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors, and two fireplaces give the home its lodge-style character. Step inside and the front living room immediately sets the tone. Large windows bring in natural light, and a wood-burning fireplace anchors the space. The layout then opens toward the kitchen and dining area, creating an easy flow for everyday life and gatherings. The kitchen is built for real cooking and real storage: KitchenAid stainless appliances, a gas range, low-profile microwave vented to the exterior, wine cooler, and refrigerator that conveys. Under-cabinet lighting and indirect lighting add warmth once the sun drops. Just behind the kitchen sits the second living space -- a large family room with built-ins and a gas fireplace. This room stretches toward the backyard and connects directly to the outdoor entertaining areas, making it the natural hub for gatherings. Outside, the property really comes alive. Step onto the 16×14 TimberTech composite deck, down to the 14×14 stone patio where the chimenea conveys, and out into the fully fenced backyard surrounded by mature trees. The layout easily handles entertaining for large or small cookouts, fire nights, or long evenings outdoors. The primary bedroom sits on the main floor with ensuite bath, offering separation from the rest of the home. Upstairs, a vaulted loft overlooks the main level and creates flexible space for reading, work, or a quiet lounge area. Two additional bedrooms and another full bath complete the upper level. The crawlspace was encapsulated and conditioned in 2019, the foundation was reinforced with carbon fiber supports, IntelliJacks, and a steel beam (with a 25-year transferable warranty), and the roof was just replaced in 2026. Additional improvements include underground drainage, GutterShutter gutters, new exterior lighting, new interior paint, updated lighting fixtures, and a new Aprilaire crawlspace dehumidifier in 2026. It feels like a mountain retreat -- except it's home. Come see it in person and spend a few minutes on that porch. You'll understand instantly.
