A rare find!! This mid-century modern gem on 1.28 wooded acres is tucked into the Mt. Bolus neighborhood of Chapel Hill. The inviting home offers warmth and character across 3,175 square feet, surrounded by a spectacular forest -- an unforgettable setting just 1.7 miles from Franklin Street and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home backs onto a protected greenway corridor that feeds directly into the Bolin Creek Trail. The result is a landscape that feels expansive and uninterrupted -- private, peaceful, and deeply connected to nature, with access to miles of trails just beyond your backyard. Inside, light-filled living spaces are gently wrapped by forest views, with expansive windows drawing the outdoors in. The main level spans 1,796 square feet, offering three bedrooms, two beautifully designed bathrooms, and multiple living and dining areas that feel both connected and distinct. The fully renovated kitchen, featuring Thermador appliances, anchors the home with a balance of function and understated elegance. Two east-facing decks extend the living space into the trees -- ideal for quiet mornings, winter sunrises, and exceptional birdwatching. With detailed upgrade designs by renowned local architect James Morgan, the decks offer immediate enjoyment and future potential. The walk-out daylight basement measures 1,378 square feet and is a home unto itself: a spacious great room, two bedrooms, a full bath, laundry, an efficiency kitchen, generous storage space, and a dedicated workshop. This space offers multi-generational living with architect design plans for a basement upgrade ready to bring it to life. Outside, the grounds are exceptional. Lovingly landscaped by the owner, an experienced stonemason, the gardens feature handcrafted stonework, mature plantings, and natural gathering spaces that feel timeless and intentional. Secluded, peaceful, and only minutes from the center of Chapel Hill, this is a home that truly feels like a retreat.Description
