Property Description

Contemporary-inspired home in an excellent Chapel Hill location on a quiet cul-de-sac, set on over a third of an acre. NEW roof, fresh interior paint, and updated fixtures make this home truly move-in ready. A welcoming front porch leads into a bright, open main living area with soaring cathedral ceilings, gas log fireplace, and a built-in bar, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The main level offers a convenient first-floor primary suite with an updated bath featuring dual vanities, a tiled walk-in shower, and a spacious walk-in closet. A dedicated study with built-ins provides the perfect work-from-home setup. The kitchen is well designed with abundant cabinetry and counter space, stainless steel appliances, and a gas cooktop, flowing easily into a generous dining area overlooking the screened porch.
Upstairs, you'll find two large bedrooms, a full bath, and a versatile bonus room that can flex to fit your needs. The outdoor space is a standout, with a fenced backyard, thoughtful hardscaping, and a patio that creates a private setting for relaxing or entertaining. Convenient to I-40, shopping, and dining, this home offers a great balance of space, updates, and location.
