Experience the modernist design in this Arthur Cogswell-designed home, ideally situated on 3.6 private, wooded acres in the East CHHS District with the benefit of county taxes. Tucked away on a quiet Chapel Hill street, this signature mid-century architectural residence offers privacy, character, and timeless style-ready for you to make it your new home. The kitchen framed by large windows overlooking the garden, opens to the dining and family rooms. In the spacious family room, a vaulted ceiling, soft indirect light from clerestory windows, a wood-burning fireplace, and a corner window create a warm and inviting place to read, relax, or gather. Expansive windows connect the home to the surrounding forest, while distinctive Cogswell details-including the loft and balcony overlooking the living room-add architectural interest and a playful sense of space. For entertaining or quiet evenings, the family room extends naturally to the screened porch. The versatile three-bedroom, three-bath layout spans multiple levels, offering plenty of room to spread out and enjoy distinct living areas. Outdoor spaces include a lower-level deck and a stone patio with a dedicated garden area protected by a seven-foot deer fence. Two one-car garages provide ample storage, complimented by a separate skylit room and a sunny workspace just outside the back door-offering a place for every hobby, project, or pursuit. With a peaceful "miles away" feeling in the heart of everything, this special property delivers a rare blend of secluded living just minutes from UNC, Duke, and I-40.
