Welcome to 85 Lilac Drive, where an open, flowing floor plan makes everyday living easy and entertaining effortless. The heart of the home is an oversized living room that opens directly to the kitchen and dining area, so conversation carries from the cooktop to the couch without a wall in the way. Natural light, generous sightlines, and room to spread out define the whole main level. Home cooks will appreciate the walk-in pantry — real storage for bulk buys, small appliances, and everything that usually crowds a countertop. Granite countertops and stainless appliances dress up the kitchen. The large island seats three. A standout feature: all 3 bedrooms are located on the main floor, including the primary suite with its full bath. with walk in shower with bench seat. Upstairs, a spacious second-floor family room with a full bathroom creates a flexible second living zone. Media room, home office, guest retreat, playroom, gym — it adapts to whatever you need, and the full bath means overnight guests get their own space. Storage is rarely this good. Two walk-in attic spaces provide easy, standing-height access for seasonal decorations, luggage, and long-term storage — no pull-down ladder gymnastics required. Step outside to the standout gathering space: a large deck designed for the way North Carolina seasons actually work. One portion is covered, giving you shade, shelter from a passing shower, and relief from summer bugs — ideal for morning coffee or dinner outdoors. The adjoining open section is built for grilling, sun, and stargazing. Together they extend the living space well beyond the back door. Beyond the deck, the fully fenced, flat backyard with firepit is ready for gardening, pets or other outdoor living enhancements. The level lot is low-maintenance and immediately usable, with plenty of open ground to work with. All of this sits in Franklinton, with convenient access to US-1, Youngsville, Wake Forest, and points into the Triangle.

Nearly an acre you can actually use. 1st floor Owner Suite. A second living room upstairs. An attic that will end your storage-unit subscription. Start with the lot, because photos undersell it. Just shy of an acre in Woodland Park — mostly cleared, level, and open, with mature pines framing the edges instead of swallowing the yard. Room for the garden, the fire pit, and the dog to run all at once, without a grading contractor and a five-figure estimate. The house was custom-built in 2023 by Colebrooke, and the craftsmanship shows. White board-and-batten and lap siding, black windows, and a covered front porch that runs better than twenty feet — deep enough for actual rocking chairs, not the decorative kind. Inside, the foyer opens to a bright main level where the kitchen, dining, and living rooms work together instead of competing. The cook stays in the conversation. Nothing is chopped into corridors. The living room is anchored by a gas-log fireplace with built-in shelving on both sides. The kitchen puts a generous island with barstool seating at its center, backed by a double-herringbone tile backsplash, crisp white cabinetry, pendant lighting, and stainless appliances. Just across, the dining room earns its keep with a wood-beamed ceiling and board-and-batten wainscoting. The first-floor owner's suite is the headline. At 16'6" x 14'8", it's a genuinely large room — not a builder's "primary" that fits a queen and a nightstand. Windows on two sides keep it bright from morning through late afternoon, and a tray ceiling gives it height. Then there are the closets: two separate walk-ins, so nobody negotiates for hanging space or exiles the off-season clothes to another room. The en suite adds dual vanities, an oversized tile walk-in shower with seat, & a private water closet. Off the foyer, behind its own door, sits a private den. Home office when the calls need quiet. Playroom when it needs to be within earshot. Guest room, studio, craft room. It's the room that lets the house change with you instead of forcing a move. The everyday logistics are handled just as thoughtfully. A side door opens into the mudroom — the entrance that actually gets used — where a full wall of built-in bench, cubbies, and hooks handles shoes, bags, and coats beneath a bank of transom windows. The pantry is right there. The washer and dryer share the same run. A pocket door slides open to the kitchen, so groceries land where they belong and the mess stays in one place. Upstairs holds more house than most buyers expect: two bedrooms and a full bath, plus a family room under a vaulted ceiling — a true second living space for movie nights, a playroom, or a home gym. And then the storage, which deserves its own paragraph. Large closets throughout, and a floored walk-in attic that runs nearly forty feet behind a real door, with generous headroom under the ridge. Holiday bins, luggage, seasonal furniture — the things most people rent a unit to keep. You walk in and turn on a light. Out back, the covered and screened porch looks into the trees with a ceiling fan overhead — the three-season room where the coffee happens in the morning and nobody swats mosquitoes in the evening. Steps lead down to the open yard. Add a side-load two-car garage, luxury vinyl plank flooring through the main living areas, 2.5 baths, and 2023 construction still under its first owner's care. Franklinton schools. HOA just $350/year. Roughly 35 minutes to RDU International and 40 to downtown Durham, with Wake Forest and Youngsville minutes away for everyday errands.
