79 Taylor Street
Timberlake, NC 27583Welcome to the Taylor House, a charming and elegant 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home tucked away on 1.5 spacious acres in the quiet community of Timberlake. Full of personality and thoughtfully cared for, this cozy home offers plenty to love as it is, along with a few unfinished projects and TLC opportunities for its next owner to add their own finishing touches. A beautiful front porch welcomes you into the foyer, where you'll find a comfortable living room, spacious dining room, and a functional kitchen with a clean, simple style that is ready for your vision. The first-floor primary suite is a true standout, featuring thoughtful, high-end details, a large walk-in closet, and an impressive private bath with a luxury multi-jet shower. It's one of those spaces that really needs to be seen in person to appreciate all the details. The main level also includes a unique powder room and convenient laundry area. Upstairs, you'll find four additional bedrooms and a full bath, providing plenty of room for family, guests, hobbies, or a home office. Outside, there's even more room to spread out, with a large lawn perfect for gardening, pets, play, or simply enjoying a little breathing room. The side porch has a head start and offers another opportunity to add your own touch, while multiple outbuildings provide useful storage and an additional structure could work well for chickens or other small animals. This isn't a cookie-cutter house—and that's part of its charm. It's a comfortable, well-loved home with character, some impressive updates, and a few projects still waiting to be finished. Enjoy a peaceful country setting while staying approximately 10 minutes from Roxboro and 25 minutes from downtown Durham. Sold AS-IS.
