*OFFER DEADLINE: SUNDAY JUNE 1, 5PM*Tucked into one of Chapel Hill's most beloved neighborhoods, this hidden gem feels more like a mountain retreat than a home just five minutes from UNC and downtown Franklin St. Set back from the road with a wooded backdrop, it's filled with natural light and blends mid-century charm with thoughtful, modern updates. Skylights, cathedral ceilings, and refinished white oak floors upstairs create a calm, airy vibe, while maple cabinetry and warm copper countertops add character to the sunny kitchen. The main level offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths; downstairs features a cozy wood-burning fireplace, brand new LVP flooring, a laundry room with full bath, flexible bonus space, and private entry--ideal for guests, in-laws, or a home office. Recent upgrades include fresh paint throughout, new ceiling fans, updated lighting, and all new outlets and switches. Outside, native plantings and hardscaping blend into the low-maintenance, wildlife-friendly landscape. Improved drainage, new gutters and downspouts, and a sealed crawl space offer peace of mind. And the enormous screened porch? A dream. Out here, the songs of Cardinals and Carolina Wrens replace the sound of traffic. Whether you're sipping coffee or heading out for a trail run at Battle Park, this special home offers a kind of peacefulness and quiet that's hard to come by this close to town.
