Thoughtfully maintained and updated, this beautiful Governors Village home has five bedrooms, a dedicated office, and a separate apartment above the garage, offering exceptional flexibility in one of Chapel Hill's most desirable and walkable neighborhoods. Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac on a premium lot, it feels private and peaceful while remaining steps away from the community pool, playground, basketball/volleyball/tennis courts, and walking trails.
The main level flows effortlessly between living spaces, with gleaming hardwood floors throughout and an open kitchen, formal dining room, and breakfast nook ideal for cooking and gathering. The first-floor primary suite, a second main-level bedroom, a main-level laundry room, and an office near the front entryway make it possible to live primarily on the first floor if desired. One of the three upstairs bedrooms is a large bonus room suited for a media room, playroom, gym, or home office. Built in benches and two spacious attics provide ample storage.
Outdoors, a screened porch and patio invite year-round enjoyment, while the sprawling, fenced backyard backing to forested government land offers room for play, pets, and gardening.
A separate one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment above the detached garage offers compelling versatility -- rental income, multigenerational living, private retreat, or hosting guests.
Recent updates by the current owners include a new roof (2025), a fully repainted exterior and extensive repainting inside (2026), replaced concrete patio and new crawlspace vapor barrier (2024), new fence (2023), new hardwood flooring upstairs (2022), reverse osmosis water filtration, and an electric vehicle charger.
Convenient to UNC, Southpoint Mall, Research Triangle Park, and more!
