Property Description
Mid-century charm, modern updates, a pocket forest, and a front porch big enough for rocking chairs galore. This is not your ordinary Estes Hills home. Set well back from Estes Drive, the deep front yard places the house comfortably above the traffic, while the driveway is tucked onto the quiet side street for easy, safe access. The wide front porch is made for lingering, whether you envision a row of rocking chairs, a couple of porch swings, or just a great place to sit and watch the world go by. There is even a little patch of woods affectionately known as the "pocket forest," a perfect place for kids to let their imaginations run wild. The backyard is fenced-in and flat, making it perfect for privacy or letting the kids and dogs explore and play. There's also a carport, accessible by the large gate in the back, but we think it also makes for a fabulous place to relax and hang out in the shade. The location is hard to beat. Walk to the Chapel Hill Public Library, University Place with its shops, restaurants, and movie theater, or head to the nearby Chapel Hill Community Park and Recreation center. You can even walk to Whole Foods (0.8 mile) or Trader Joe's and Aldi (1 mile). The nearby free bus line makes getting to UNC or anywhere around town easy. Inside, the home strikes a wonderful balance between mid-century character and thoughtful updates. Broken-tile porch details and crystal light fixtures bring a touch of old-world charm, while new stone countertops add a fresh, contemporary feel. Bathrooms have been refreshed with new flooring, vanities, and shower heads. Updates range from the big-ticket items like a new roof, gutters, and downspouts to the smallest finishing touches, such as new light switches and door handles. And then there's the layout. On one side of the home, the primary suite is joined by two generous secondary bedrooms. On the other, a separate flex space with its own entrance, full bath, and kitchenette offers remarkable versatility. Use it as a private apartment, a comfortable in-law or guest suite, a work-from-home retreat, or an extra fabulous second primary suite. There's really so much to love about this one-of-a-kind home!
