Description
Set beneath towering oak trees on 7.76 pastoral acres, 2102 Bahama Road is the kind of historic property that rarely comes available. This stately Carolina Four Square farmhouse blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates, creating a home that feels both grand and welcoming. Inside, you'll find nearly 4,000 square feet filled with historic charm -- soaring ceilings, expansive entertaining spaces, original heart pine floors, and nine fireplaces throughout the home. Three fireplaces feature LP gas logs (serviced May 2026), while six remain decorative focal points rich with character. The home has been carefully updated over the years, including all new windows installed in 2008, updated plumbing in 2002, a Kholer generator, and modern HVAC systems including a 2021 electric heat pump for the second floor and a 2017 LP gas Lennox system for the first floor. The primary bath is served by an LP gas Rinnai water heater. A stunning addition, with abundant natural light, transformed the kitchen providing a spacious sitting area featuring a dramatic stacked-stone fireplace reaching to the ceiling, built-in bookcases and cabinetry was completed in the 1980s. The Timberpeg first-floor primary suite addition completed in 2004 offers vaulted ceilings, a large walk-in closet, and a private bath designed for comfort and retreat. It also includes a charming Romeo-and-Juliet balcony that overlooks the 30' x 20' slate terrace -- the perfect setting for twilight gatherings, garden parties, or quiet evenings beneath the stars. Approached by a long, tree-canopied driveway and set well back from the road, the property offers exceptional privacy and a truly picturesque setting. The expansive front porch invites slow mornings and relaxed afternoons while overlooking the surrounding countryside. The land itself is equally impressive, with open pastures and a buffer of trees that add privacy. Numerous outbuildings are suitable for equipment storage, garage, workshop/woodworking, hobbies, or farm animals. A substantial 20' x 40' wired workshop/garage with concrete floors and generous ceiling height includes an attached 20' x 40' roof extension for covered storage or workspace. With stall matts, it could easily be converted into a barn. Located less than a quarter mile from Lake Michie for boating or bass fishing is an additional treat. It's a few miles to the Treyburn Corporate Park, Highway 15-501 with easy access to downtown Durham, the Research Triangle Park, and Raleigh-Durham International Airport. This remarkable property offers the rare combination of historic beauty, usable acreage, and convenient access. Come see it today!
