LAKE-VIEW Townhome with Two Primary Suites Near Duke, Southpoint and RTP: Picture your mornings starting with coffee on the patio, sunlight on the water, and a quiet lake view stretching out in front of you. This is what waits at 3565 Sugar Tree Place, a lake-view townhome with two primary suites, tucked at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in South Durham's Lochside community, just minutes from Duke, Southpoint, and RTP. From the moment you walk in, everything is ready for you. Fresh paint, an easy open layout, and nothing on the to-do list. The kitchen, with its stone countertops, flows into the living room, so whether you're cooking a weeknight dinner or hosting friends for the weekend, the conversation never has to stop. And through the back door, that view is always calling you outside. Upstairs, the home offers something rare at this size: two true bedroom suites, each with its own private full bath. Every person has a private retreat, guests stay in comfort, and a home office can come with its own bath down the hall. A half bath on the main level keeps every visit easy. The big projects are already done. The roof and HVAC are new as of 2025, and the water heater is brand new, so you can move in with confidence and put your energy into living here instead of fixing things. The HOA takes care of exterior maintenance and lawn care, leaving your weekends free for the community pool, clubhouse gatherings, and slow evenings watching the light settle over the lake. Lochside is an owner-occupied community, where homes are cared for and neighbors are invested in where they live. Two assigned parking spaces and guest parking make every arrival effortless. Peaceful water views, an unbeatable location, and a home that's ready the day you arrive, all at a value that's hard to find anywhere near Duke and RTP. Come see it in person, and picture your next chapter by the lake. Vacant and easy to show. Please schedule through ShowingTime; the lockbox is on the front door. This listing has been priced to sell. Help your buyer walk in with equity on day one. Lochside is an owner-occupied community, and leasing is not permitted under the HOA, so this home is best suited to owner-occupant buyers. HOA documents are available on request. Please submit offers with a pre-approval letter or proof of funds to Kristi Davis at prgselectservices@gmail.com. Questions? Call or text Kristi at 919-964-1601.
