Property Description

A rare new construction opportunity on almost 6 wooded acres, minutes from downtown Chapel Hill and Carrboro in the distinguished Greenbrae community. Warm and sophisticated, this luxury farmhouse blends timeless charm with refined, contemporary finishes. Situated in a community of high-end custom homes, 1040 Millbrook Circle enjoys a sense of place and privacy created first by the long sweeping driveway and then enhanced by an inviting brick front walkway and a modern elegant facade. Inside, custom details and artisan-created finishes set a warm, inviting tone. Site-finished white oak floors, a hand-built stone fireplace wall with an antique wood mantel shelf, curated tilework, custom millwork, designer light fixtures all create a warm, elegant living space. These features add a thoughtful counterpoint to clean architectural lines. The Chef's Kitchen features Thermador appliances, an adjacent scullery with pantry, and a large center island perfect for casual gatherings.
