Overview
Former home of Martha Flowers, world-class opera diva and UNC's first Black music faculty, this meticulously renovated mid-century ranch honors Martha's spirit of excellence and love of beauty! Nestled in the coveted Chapel Hill-Carrboro school district, this home embodies modern comfort and timeless charm, all on a single level.
The kitchen steals the spotlight with sleek quartz countertops, a classy waterfall edge, and abundant natural light. Every detail speaks of sophistication, from the West Elm lighting to the Rejuvenation hardware. Original features like the hearth and hardwoods blend seamlessly with the new floors, custom cabinetry, updated sunroom/home office space, solid-core doors, and new deck. Gold accents tie in the three bedrooms with the updated baths that have been transformed by marble tile, stylish vanities, skylight, and gold fixtures.
Perched high and set back from N Estes affords this home a private and tranquil backyard that overlooks a newly sodded lawn and a natural area with mature trees and wildlife. And ensuring low maintenance and peace of mind for years to come, this home boasts new windows, new roof, new HVAC and much more.
Ample storage in the walk-in crawlspace with concrete floor (that's plumbed for a full bathroom) and the potential to add a drop-zone at the owner's entrance simplify daily life, while the convenient location - near UNC, Whole Foods, upscale eateries and I-40 - makes this residence an irresistible opportunity. Step inside Martha's remastered abode, where every detail sings, ''Welcome home.''
