Location, location, location! The Hills at Southpoint is minutes to I-40, The Streets at Southpoint, Duke, UNC and RDU International Airport, and so much more. There is direct access to the American Tobacco Trail from this neighborhood, which also provides an Olympic-size pool, clubhouse, tennis courts and playground. A covered front porch, wooded backdrop and peaceful indoor-outdoor living set the stage for this spacious ranch-style home with a full basement. Inside, the foyer opens to a formal dining room and a private office/living room with crown molding, chair rail and double doors for privacy.
