Set along the 6th green of Pinehurst No. 9, 233 National Drive combines an excellent location within the development with the mature landscaping, privacy and established character that make National so appealing. The home sits beautifully on the lot, with a wide rear lawn and mature pines framing the golf course. There is enough separation from the course to enjoy the view without feeling like the course is sitting directly in your backyard. Inside, the home is bright and well proportioned, with hardwood floors, custom millwork, a two-story foyer and a vaulted living room overlooking the back of the property. The updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, upgraded appliances and a large center island, with an easy connection to the breakfast area and screened porch. The screened porch is one of the best spaces in the house. Large and vaulted with a wood ceiling, it functions as a true extension of the living space and takes full advantage of the golf-course setting and mature landscape. The home offers five bedrooms, including the primary suite on the main level. The finished walkout lower level adds a substantial amount of useful living space with the fifth bedroom, full bath, family room and a flexible area that works well for exercise space, golf cart storage or a combination of both. Direct access to the patio and backyard makes the lower level especially functional for golf-course living. Altogether, the property offers approximately 4,660 square feet of finished living space, including the finished lower level. A transferable Pinehurst Signature membership is available with the property -- an increasingly important consideration for buyers who want immediate access to the broader Pinehurst Country Club lifestyle. National is built around Jack Nicklaus-designed Pinehurst No. 9 and offers 24-hour gated security, clubhouse, pool and tennis. Convenient access in a highly desired golf- and lifestyle-centered neighborhood is what continues to keep National at the top of buyers' lists. The Village of Pinehurst, Southern Pines, FirstHealth, shopping and dining are all just minutes away. Additional features include a whole-house generator, tankless water heater, irrigation well, encapsulated crawl space, two fireplaces, multiple outdoor living areas and a two-car garage. 233 National brings together the pieces that are increasingly difficult to find in one property: golf frontage, mature trees and landscaping, a usable backyard, substantial finished space, a transferable Pinehurst membership and a location that makes everyday life in Pinehurst easy.
