About this home
A Goforth Original, Thoughtfully Reimagined
Built by local legend JP Goforth, this home carries the kind of craftsmanship and character that only comes from someone who truly knew how to build for this community. The current owners have honored that legacy while bringing the home in line with today's most discerning buyers and the result is something special.
The welcome begins before you even reach the front door. Professionally landscaped grounds offer low-maintenance beauty with blooms and greenery that carry through every season. Out back, a fully fenced yard becomes your private retreat that includes a covered porch with a porch swing, a screened-in porch, a generous stone patio, and a firepit make this a space you'll actually live in, rain or shine, spring through winter.
Step inside and you're greeted by rich hardwood floors that flow seamlessly through the main level, up the stairs, and across the entire second floor. To the right, the living room fills with natural light from windows on two sides, and its thoughtfully placed doors allow it to serve equally well as a home office, media room, or formal gathering space -- whatever your life calls for.
The main level powder room has been fully refreshed, and the adjacent laundry room earns its keep with an abundance of custom built-in cabinetry. A convenient exterior door connects this space directly to the screened porch and backyard.
Then there's the kitchen and it genuinely stops people in their tracks. A complete remodel brought custom cabinetry, stunning Quartzite countertops and island, and a suite of top-tier stainless steel appliances including a Bosch dishwasher, double oven with convection microwave, and warming drawer. An oversized window was added specifically to frame the backyard views. A dedicated coffee bar, beverage refrigerator, and generous pantry cabinetry complete a space that works as hard as it looks beautiful.
The wall between the kitchen and family room was opened to create that easy, connected flow so whoever is in the kitchen is never out of the conversation, and the warmth of the fireplace reaches both rooms at once.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms have been freshened with new paint, updated light fixtures, and new door hardware. The primary suite's bathroom is a true sanctuary: a double-sink vanity, a luxurious steam shower, and a new window that bathes the room in natural light. The hall bathroom has also been fully updated with clean, neutral finishes that feel fresh and timeless.
The lower level adds real flexibility -- a bonus room, a full bathroom, and an exterior egress door make it ideal for guests, a home office, a gym, or whatever your household needs.
And then there's the neighborhood. Old-growth trees, top-rated Chapel Hill schools, and a location that puts the YMCA, UNC, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, the library, parks, great dining, and I-40 within easy reach, this is a home that makes everyday life feel effortlessly good....
