About this home
Energy efficiency, major mechanical updates, and breathtaking Bolin Creek views—this exceptional one-owner well-maintained home offers a rare combination of efficiency, comfort, and natural beauty. Thoughtfully updated throughout and designed to help offset energy costs, the home delivers outstanding long-term value. Set on a premier wooded lot overlooking scenic Bolin Creek, neighborhood trails, and a community playground fifty yards away, this is one of Bolin Forest's most remarkable settings. Inside, freshly refinished oak hardwood floors, soaring cathedral and tray ceilings, and walls of windows create bright, inviting living spaces filled with natural light and beautiful woodland views. Timeless craftsmanship and thoughtful design are evident throughout, blending warmth, character, and everyday functionality. A stunning sunroom addition serves as the centerpiece of the home, featuring vaulted ceilings and panoramic views of Bolin Creek and the surrounding forest. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee, working from home, or entertaining guests, this spectacular space offers a seamless connection to the natural beauty just beyond your windows. The beautifully refreshed kitchen features granite countertops, professionally refaced cabinetry, a designer tile backsplash, updated hardware, and stylish new lighting. With abundant storage, generous workspace, and a spacious eat-in area, the kitchen is perfectly designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The updated powder room and numerous new light fixtures throughout the home add a fresh, modern feel. A versatile bonus room with heated floors and custom built-ins provides exceptional flexibility for hobbies, recreation, fitness, or a home office. The fully finished lower-level apartment offers outstanding versatility and is ideal for guests, multigenerational living, a private office suite, or potential income-producing opportunities. Built-in custom cabinets in master closet and pantry. Outside, the property lives like a private woodland retreat. Mature landscaping, brick walkways and three private outdoor living areas - a secluded front courtyard; an interior-accessible backyard ground-level brick patio with antique wrought-iron railings; and a kitchen-adjacent upper deck for outdoor dining, while the grassy backyard's sweeping views of Bolin Creek wooded trails and surrounding natural areas make every season a showcase. Few homes in the neighborhood enjoy such a picturesque setting with this level of privacy, beauty, and direct access to nature. Energy efficiency is built into this home with solar panels that will insulate the homeowner from the current and future electric rates. Major major mechanical updates - a new roof (2014), three recently replaced heat pumps (2023, 2024, and 2025), a new water heater (2023) and an encapsulated, dehumidified walk-in crawlspace. Together, these significant investments enhance efficiency, comfort, and peace of mind while helping reduce future maintenance concerns. With direct access to the Bolin Creek Trail connecting to Chapel Hill High School, Smith Middle School, Wilson Park, and local greenways, this exceptional property offers the perfect balance of nature, convenience, and modern living. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained home where energy savings, thoughtful updates, and an extraordinary Creekside setting come together in one of Carrboro's most sought-after neighborhoods....
