(JUST THE FACTS: Scroll down!)
The gracious foyer welcomes you and truly, they don't make them like this anymore. You step inside and immediately experience a sense of spaciousness that most modern construction has lost in an effort to maximize efficiency in every space. Stairs are NOT often a detail to highlight but. . . this staircase IS. Its graceful design showcases the craftsmanship of a bygone era and adds so much charm to the space, creating a striking focal point that honors the home's history while offering enduring beauty.
The living and dining rooms, just off the foyer, are bathed in natural light throughout the day. Sunbeams stream through the true divided light windows casting warm, patterned beams across both rooms. And as the sun sets, things quiet and the spaces become cozy enclaves to enjoy with friends and family.
The kitchen seamlessly connects to a breakfast nook and a spacious laundry room with built-ins for pantry space. But the highlight is the delightful screened sitting porch, just off the kitchen—an idyllic spot to sip your morning coffee and unwind in peaceful solitude. Off the kitchen, you'll discover a den - lined with windows providing views to a beautiful backyard- that has built-in shelves and a fireplace, along with a convenient vestibule entry from the side of the house, adding ease and practicality to everyday living.
The upper-level gallery- is truly a gallery. It adds an open, airy feel, while the home's architectural details—such as heart-of-pine floors and timeless moldings, showcase its character.
Upstairs you'll find four spacious bedrooms and 2 full baths. The owner's suite boasts a sunporch off the back offering a great spot to enjoy the surrounding mature landscaping and tranquil views.
With its beautiful homesite, mature trees, and unique charm, this property is ready for someone to lovingly usher it into its next 100 years. It's a rare gem waiting to be cherished, restored, and transformed—offering an unparalleled opportunity to live in the heart of Chapel Hill's history while enjoying all the conveniences of modern life.
