About this home

Situated on a private .83-acre lot backing to undeveloped wooded land, this thoughtfully renovated 1970s ranch offers a rare combination of privacy, character, and modern design in Southern Pines' established Highland Trails neighborhood. Surrounded by mature pines and natural Sandhills beauty, the property feels connected to its setting while remaining convenient to the amenities, shops, dining, and golf that define the area. Inside, the home blends mid-century inspiration with vibrant contemporary updates. Crisp white walls provide a bright backdrop for rich hickory hardwood flooring that flows throughout the home, while carefully curated pops of color add personality and visual interest at every turn. The kitchen combines function and style with striking lime-green glass tile, sleek white quartz countertops, warm walnut veneer cabinetry, and Bosch stainless steel appliances, including an induction cook top, built-in convection oven, and a versatile microwave that converts to a second convection oven. Just beyond, a Sputnik-style chandelier defines the dining area and complements the home's modern aesthetic. The spacious living room is filled with natural light from large bay windows, offering peaceful views of the surrounding landscape and creating a welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining. The primary suite enjoys serene views of the wooded backyard and includes an updated bath featuring a blue mosaic tile walk-in shower, floating vanity, and contemporary finishes. Two additional bedrooms are bright and airy, with large casement windows that bring in natural light and views of the surrounding pines. The guest bath continues the home's distinctive design approach with vibrant orange glass tile, penny-round flooring, and a floating vanity that adds both function and character. Outside, mature longleaf pines create a peaceful backdrop where wildlife is a regular part of daily life. Woodpeckers, bluebirds, cardinals, deer, and even the occasional eagle can often be spotted from the property, reinforcing the connection to the surrounding landscape. Combining architectural character, thoughtful updates, and a setting that is increasingly difficult to find, this Highland Trails home offers a distinctive ownership opportunity in one of Southern Pines' most established neighborhoods.
