About This Home
As of June 2025There are homes that speak plainly, and there are homes that whisper, that draw you in like a dog-eared novel found on a sunlit shelf. This end-unit townhouse in Chapel Hill belongs to the latter. Tucked quietly beside a pond that mirrors the sky and cradled by lush landscaping in every direction, it feels less like just a home and more like the opening line of a story long waiting to be told.To walk into this home is to be greeted with a sense of privacy and poise. A winding path draws you past gardens — blooming with intent, shaped by time — until you reach the front door, where the quiet of the neighborhood settles around you like a sigh. This end unit gives more than just space to breathe, it breathes life back into you with sunlight flooding through the windows on three sides, and the view? A pond so still where the turtles bask like they own the afternoon.The tone shifts gently to warmth and ease inside. Fresh paint throughout, the ease of site finished hardwoods, and the soft hush of new carpet underfoot sets a calm rhythm. The layout speaks to comfort and practicality — main-floor living designed for ease and a little coziness. The primary bedroom suite is on the first floor, spacious and serene with a view like no other. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms offer quiet corners for guests or growing dreams, while a loft lined with bookshelves waits like a hidden chapter — perfect for reading, writing, or simply pausing. All the tall windows invite the outdoors in, and every room hums with quiet light.It's the kind of place where seasons announce themselves softly — spring arriving with a scatter of blossoms outside your window, summer afternoons marked by the slow movement of turtles across the pond rocks, and autumn spilling gold into every corner of the yard. There's a cadence here, slow and steady, that makes the days feel longer in the best way.The location, though seemingly tucked away, could not be more connected. Just beyond the quiet path lies the vibrant pulse of Chapel Hill. From this doorstep, you can walk or bike to campus, to the hospital, to the heart of one of North Carolina's most storied towns. And when life calls you further out, I-40 is just minutes away, opening the door to Durham, Raleigh, and the Southpoint area's shops and restaurants.It's hard not to think of Scout Finch wandering these tree-lined streets, or Jay Gatsby watching the water with quiet longing. There's a literary stillness here, and a sense that — if you let it — this place could become the setting where your next story unfolds.OFFER DEADLINE - Sunday, May 4 at 3pm
