Property Description

What makes a Southern home? Perhaps it begins with a house that's easy on the eyes, a front porch wide enough for rocking chairs or a porch swing, and a neighborhood where friends become familiar faces. Add a grassy yard for games of every kind, a spacious stone patio with an outdoor grilling area for weekend barbecues, and a setting where you can swim, play racquet sports, or shoot hoops is just a stroll away. After all, this is North Carolina, where UNC is practically a backdoor neighbor and basketball is a past time. Inside, the home is every bit as welcoming. Sunlight streams through tall windows, while soaring ceilings, handsome moldings, soft neutral tones, and site-finished hardwood floors throughout the main level create a sense of warmth and continuity. Rather than sacrificing square footage to long, dark hallways, this thoughtfully planned home offers generous, connected living spaces with room to gather and places to retreat. A study lined with floor-to-ceiling bookcases invites quiet reading, work, or reflection. Two dining areas accommodate everything from holiday celebrations to casual breakfasts overlooking the kitchen and outdoor play space. At the heart of it all, a dramatic two-story family room features a fireplace nestled between graceful arched windows, custom built-in cabinetry, and a second-floor catwalk overlooking the gathering space. The kitchen combines wood, stone, and tile to create a space that compliments the surrounding living areas. It features rich cherry cabinetry with dovetail construction and soft-close drawers, granite countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, gas cooktop with stainless hood, wall oven, and microwave. Open to the breakfast area and family room, the location keeps conversation flowing whether preparing a weeknight supper or entertaining a crowd. As households grow and needs evolve, flexibility becomes invaluable. Here, five bedrooms include 2 primary suites, one on the main level and another upstairs, each with a private bath and generous closet space. Two additional second-floor bedrooms share a full bath, while a separate staircase leads to a fifth bedroom with its own bath. Guests, or family members will enjoy this quiet retreat. Just minutes from downtown Chapel Hill and UNC, this is a home that understands the Southern tradition of living well: welcoming neighbors, gathering around the table, making room for everyone, and enjoying the simple pleasures of home.
