A main-level office with custom wood features provides a refined work-from-home environment. From the kitchen's seating area, enjoy sightlines to both a wood-burning fireplace and a gas fireplace — a rare architectural feature that anchors the home's inviting gathering spaces. Also on the first floor, a 460-square-foot space created as an art studio which can easily serve as a home gym, workshop, creative studio, or flex space, with the possibility of converting to a two-car garage if desired. Upstairs, three bedrooms open through sliding glass doors to a private upper deck, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow and tranquil treetop views. The private backyard oasis centers around the saltwater pool, offering multiple outdoor living areas ideal for entertaining or quiet retreat. Located just minutes from UNC-Chapel Hill, the future Carolina North expansion, Franklin Street, top-rated restaurants, shopping, and convenient access to RDU International Airport, this home combines architectural significance with prime Chapel Hill accessibility. A rare opportunity to own a J.P. Goforth mid-century modern home with pool in Coker Hills — where design, location, and lifestyle converge.
