No HOA. No city taxes. No rules about your garden, your clothesline, or your driveway. This 3BR/1.5BA brick ranch with vinyl windows sits on a wooded .41-acre lot in Dogwood Acres, walking distance to Southern Village's shops and restaurants, plus Fan Branch Trail and Southern Community Park. Freshly updated: kitchen with new cabinets, granite counters, and new appliances including a gas stove; hardwoods throughout the main living space; new kitchen and bath flooring; new half bath addition; new washer/dryer, heat pump, and patio; new septic tank, gutters, and French drain; and a re-graveled driveway. Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools, municipal water, private septic — you own your yard, not an association. Real land, real updates, real freedom, this close to town.
