About This Home

As of August 2025

Showing for back up offers.

Presenting this stunning Mid-Century Modern gem, located in the heart of Chapel Hill's desirable Lake Forest community. This 4-bedroom, 3-bath home has undergone extensive, thoughtful renovations that perfectly balance period charm with modern sophistication providing a high-end kitchen, entertaining spaces, conveniences and privacy. The home features new Andersen windows and a triple sliding glass door that invites the outdoors in. The heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen showcasing a massive island, custom white oak cabinetry in a natural finish, leathered porcelain countertops, and brushed brass hardware, all complemented by a sleek bar area ideal for entertaining. The main level also offers two living spaces: a formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace, and a comfortable family room perfect for quiet evenings. The primary suite is a true retreat with dual vanities, a luxurious walk-in shower, perfectly sized walk-in closet, plus it's own dedicated laundry room. Down the hall, you'll find a second large bedroom with two generous custom-built closets, located next to a stylish full bath. Oh the 3rd bedroom! - this is where you will find comfort in a gas fireplace inviting you to use this room as a bedroom or office. On the lower level is a 4th bedroom, another full bath and flex room - offering the perfect space for an additional living area and laundry room, the ultimate private guest suite, or even a rental opportunity with it's private entrance. True to the MCM style home, the large windows and skylights bring the outdoors in. Off the main living spaces, step outside onto the expansive deck, where you can take in serene, wooded views and bask in sunlight throughout the day. Notice the cypress wood siding, glass balusters on the deck and inviting entry way up front. As a resident of Lake Forest, you'll have the option to join the private 48 acre community lake and HOA, offering a private beach, kayaking, swimming, and stand-up paddleboarding just moments from your door. Just minutes from shopping and downtown amenities. Neighborhood is noted on the NCModernist.org
