Overview

Set within one of Chapel Hill's most sought-after and quietly held neighborhoods--where homes are rarely offered and even more rarely let go--this beautifully updated residence presents a rare opportunity to step into something truly special. From the moment you arrive, the care and thoughtful investment in this home are immediately evident. A new roof installed in 2021 offers long-term peace of mind, while the recently expanded driveway adds both function and a welcoming sense of arrival, creating space for gatherings, guests, and everyday convenience. Inside, the home has been intentionally reimagined with a focus on both style and livability. The fully remodeled kitchen serves as the heart of the home, designed for connection and ease with updated finishes, modern touches, and a layout that naturally brings people together. It flows effortlessly into the main living areas, creating a space that feels open, inviting, and ready for both quiet moments and entertaining. The primary suite has been thoughtfully transformed into a private retreat, featuring a beautifully renovated bathroom completed in 2022. With its clean, refined design and spa-like feel, it offers a calming space to begin and end each day. Beyond what has already been done, this home offers something truly special--room to grow. A substantial unfinished attic, approximately 660 square feet, presents an incredible opportunity to expand the living space in a meaningful way. Whether envisioned as an additional suite, private office, media room, or a dedicated retreat, this space allows the home to evolve with your needs while adding future value. The outdoor setting enhances the experience even further, with a large, private fenced backyard that offers both space and seclusion. It's a place to gather, unwind, and enjoy the natural surroundings, all within the comfort of your own home. There is a quiet ease to life here. A sense of belonging that comes from being in a neighborhood where people choose to stay, combined with the convenience of a location that keeps you connected to everything Chapel Hill has to offer. With quick access to I-40 and close proximity 15 mins to RDU Airport, UNC, and UNC Hospitals, daily life feels both effortless and well-positioned. This home offers a rare combination of thoughtful updates, future potential, and an exceptional location--creating an opportunity that is as meaningful as it is lasting.
