Property Description

Tucked into the Mt. Bolus neighborhood of Chapel Hill, this five-bedroom, three-bath home is a rare find -- 3,175 square feet of warmth and character on 1.28 wooded acres, just 1.7 miles from Franklin Street and the University of North Carolina.Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and nestled into a mature forest, the setting for this stylish mid-century home is extraordinary -- private, quiet, and deeply connected to nature -- with direct access to the Bolinwood Trails.Inside, warm and inviting living spaces are oriented around expansive windows that frame the surrounding woods, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. Two wood-burning fireplaces anchor the home with a sense of comfort and understated elegance.The renovated kitchen is both functional and sophisticated, featuring Thermador appliances and thoughtful finishes designed for everyday living and entertaining alike. All bathrooms have been updated, and the flexible floor plan adapts beautifully to the way people actually live.Two east-facing decks extend the living space outdoors, offering the perfect place to take in winter sunrises, exceptional birdwatching, and the changing light through the trees. The walk-out daylight basement is a home unto itself: a spacious great room, two bedrooms, a full bath, laundry, an efficiency kitchen, storage space and a dedicated studio and workshop. It is an ideal setup for multigenerational living, long-term guests, a creative practice, or simply the luxury of having room to spread out.Outside, the grounds are exceptional. Lovingly landscaped by the owner, an experienced stonemason, the gardens feature handcrafted stonework, mature plantings, and natural gathering spaces that feel timeless and intentional.Secluded, peaceful, and only minutes from the center of Chapel Hill, this is a home that truly feels like a retreat.
