About the property

First-Floor Primary & Screened Porch — 5BR Home in Arboretum

What sets 140 Wiregrass Lane apart is a ground-floor primary suite that opens directly to a screened porch and overlooks a securely fenced backyard — the kind of plan buyers request for multigenerational living or long-term resale. Built in 2014 and finished in stone and fiber cement, this two-story home delivers nearly 3,000 square feet of thoughtfully arranged space: a generous foyer, formal and informal living areas, and a bonus room that can serve as an optional sixth bedroom or home office.

The heart of the house is a well-equipped gourmet kitchen with double wall ovens, a large center island for prep and casual dining, and hardwood floors that run through the main living areas. The kitchen adjoins a bright family room where informal gatherings happen, while the formal dining room and adjacent living room provide room for holiday meals and entertaining. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms share two full baths and provide flexible space for kids, guests, or a dedicated hobby room.

Outside, privacy-minded buyers will appreciate the screened porch that extends living outdoors without the bugs, a level 0.26-acre yard for play or a future garden, and a two-car attached garage with room for storage. The Arboretum community rounds out the offering with sidewalks, a clubhouse, pool, and playground — amenities that keep weekends active without a long drive.

Location is a quiet strength here: two miles to Downtown Southern Pines for dining and events, three miles to the Village of Pinehurst, and roughly 1.5 miles to Southern Pines Golf Club. The property’s assessed value and recent comparable sales in the Arboretum support the asking range — buyers will find a move-in-ready home with practical upgrades and a flexible floor plan that works for families, commuters, and military buyers alike. Important due diligence items: confirm HOA details (annual fees noted), review major systems, and verify school assignments.

Editorial market perspective

Southern Pines is trading as a balanced market today: inventory sits around 3.5 months and homes average roughly 85 days on market, signaling neither extreme seller pressure nor buyer dominance. Median sale price for the local area is about $440,000, but properties within the Arboretum — especially larger five-bedroom single-family homes with community amenities — show stronger pricing power; recent nearby closings ranged from $600K–$715K, supporting a valuation midpoint near $625,000 for this property. Year-over-year appreciation is modest (about 5%), while five-year appreciation approaches 25%, reflecting steady demand tied to the town’s lifestyle and golf/retirement market. For buyers: this is a pragmatic window to purchase if you value community amenities, a first-floor primary suite, and proximity to downtown Southern Pines and Pinehurst. For sellers: well-presented homes that highlight flexible living spaces and outdoor living still command top attention. Expect moderate competition, a typical marketing period of 2–3 months, and buyer groups that include relocating military families, local professionals, and retirees seeking low-maintenance neighborhood amenities.
