Welcome to 353 Tenney Circle, a modern oasis in the park-like and historic Tenney Circle neighborhood in Chapel Hill. Boasting walking distance to downtown Chapel Hill and iconic Franklin Street, this home is a 10 minute walk to UNC's campus but whisper quiet. The current owners lovingly overhauled the main living space to achieve modern, open living space perfect for entertaining and relaxing around a large central island. The lower level offers a distinct living space complete with a kitchenette, living area with a wood-burning fireplace, a full bathroom, and ample space for a king sized bed. With separate outdoor access, this versatile space can serve as a perfect in-law suite, a 5th bedroom, or as supplemental income opportunity, with proven rental history to rotating medical students. Recent improvements include: A down-to-studs renovation of the kitchen, living room, and dining area with all new island, prep sink, appliances, refinished hardwood floors, a newly vaulted ceiling, designer lighting, exterior and interior paint, HVAC replacement in 2025, and new lower-level flooring. Outdoor improvements include a large outdoor storage shed/deck designed to complement the main residence, landscape improvements for year-round enjoyment plus native, deer-resistant plantings. Towering white oaks and poplars adorn the approximately 0.9 acre lot, which lends a peaceful tree house experience. In the spring, summer, and fall, mature native foliage envelops the property, offering truly exceptional privacy for a downtown property within walking distance to campus and Franklin Street. Rich in history, this home exists within one of the first planned neighborhoods of Chapel Hill, dating back to the early 1920s, but without any historic conservation district restrictions. 353 Tenney was built by George Barclay, UNC's first All-American football player and later UNC's head football coach. Don't miss your chance to live in this beautifully updated, move-in-ready home in the heart of Chapel Hill!Description
