About this home
Lovely on Lake Ellen! Super cool modernist home with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths on .53 acres. Architecturally interesting, with soaring ceilings and walls of windows that bring light and nature inside. There are so many thoughtfully designed improvements and updates and the house is wonderful for entertaining and flows easily. The living room has a real wood burning fireplace flanked by a built-in bookcase and is adjacent to the expansive dining area. The kitchen is the center hub of the house and was completely renovated in 2021 with quartz countertops and custom cabinets with pull out shelves and drawers. High-end stainless appliances include French door refrigerator and double-oven range. Velux skylights provide natural light, even in the center of the house. Gorgeous real hardwood floors, modern ceiling fans, designer lighting and new LED recessed lighting throughout. New Pella doors (with retractable screens) in both the dining room and primary bedroom, lead to the deck that spans the back of the house and overlooks Booker Creek. The primary bedroom is like being in a tree house and there is private access to the deck. Fabulous walk-in closet and the en-suite bath has double sinks and a huge walk-in shower. The secondary bedrooms are spacious with built-in features. All closets have been re-designed for the 21st century to maximize the space. The lower level is a fantastic flex space with a full bath, sitting area, cute kitchenette and separate laundry. Integrated fully with the house, it also has a separate entrance. There are so many possibilities as a family room, in-law suite, home office, teen hangout or separate apartment. There is also a workshop/studio (most recently a pottery studio) that also offers tons of storage. Zen-like gardens, stone terraces and gravel paths wind through the property and lead to the creek. The house sits at the end of Lake Ellen Drive and is directly across from the lake. Lake Ellen is a true gem in the heart of Chapel Hill with abundant wildlife, birds and fish and even a neighborhood dock with kayak storage. It is almost impossible to find a property that offers this type of privacy and natural setting, yet is just 10 minutes to most everything in Chapel Hill.
