84 Cypress CIR Southern Pines, NC 28387

A pristine three-bedroom townhouse in the Cypress Creek subdivision of Southern Pines . A property that delivers two things most buyers believe they have to choose between: the energy of in town living and the quiet of waking up to open water.

This is not a home that has been worn in. The single owner is active duty military and has spent the majority of the past several years deployed, meaning 84 Cypress Circle has been maintained with discipline and inhabited with care. What you walk into is a townhouse that feels nearly untouched -- two stories, three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, 1,443 square feet of well-kept, move-in-ready space.

''You don't find pond views in Midtown Southern Pines. You certainly don't find them alongside a dry, roomy crawl space big enough for kayaks, paddleboards, and every piece of gear that fits your outdoor life. This one is different.''

Step through the back door and the pace of the day changes. Powell's Pond sits just beyond the property line, and the view it offers is the kind that gets photographed on morning walks, green tree canopies heavy with Carolina summer, white egrets moving slowly across the water, deer slipping in and out of the treeline as the light shifts. Squirrels, rabbits, and songbirds fill the nature. It is a backyard that reminds you why you moved to the Sandhills.

Yet this address keeps you inside Southern Pines' most convenient location. Cypress Creek sits squarely in the Midtown stretch, placing residents within easy reach of the restaurants, hardware stores, boutiques, and community gathering places that give this town its character. The parade route runs close. The train that cuts through historic downtown is minutes away. This is the rare address where you can watch herons from your own back patio and still be a 5 minute drive to dinner.

Under the townhouse sits one of the most practical and unusual features on the market right now: a clean, dry, roomy crawl space purpose-built for serious storage. The current owner has used it throughout his ownership to stow outdoor gear -- kayaks, camping equipment, sporting goods, and it shows. Well maintained and genuinely accessible, this is the kind of space that changes how an active household actually lives. Your outdoor life has a home here.
