About This Home
Live large in the cozy Roberson Cottage, just two blocks from UNC!
This adorable home was renovated by the current owner, with updated kitchen and baths, refreshed pine paneling, hardwood floors, custom built-in closet and cabinetry and more.
Sit on the front porch in the swing and relax. Enjoy entertaining guests in the living room with a fireplace or share a meal in the dining alcove. A loft and room above provide extra storage space. The lower level features a separate entrance, full bath and space for a kitchenette. It could be guest quarters or a rental apartment as you desire.
A short stroll brings you to the UNC campus or to the center of downtown Chapel Hill. ''Nothing could be finer than to be this close to Carolina in the morning!''
