Need room for aging parents, an adult child moving back home, or guests who stay more than a weekend — without giving up your own space? This six-bedroom, five-bathroom home at 478 Bear Tree Creek in Chapel Hill's The Preserve at Jordan Lake golf course community was designed to flex. Start with the first-floor primary suite: a private wing with a sitting area, dual walk-in closets, and a spacious bath, plus a home office across the hall behind French doors. That's your space, settled, before anyone else even comes downstairs. Upstairs, three bedrooms and two full baths cover kids or regular guests. Below, a finished walk-out lower level adds roughly 1,727 square feet built for exactly this kind of situation: two bedrooms, a full bath, kitchenette, dining area, and a gym room — essentially a self-contained guest or in-law suite, minus central heat and air. That makes it ideal for visiting family, a home office, or hobby space today, with the option to add climate control down the line for full-time use. In between, the main level's two-story living room and fireplace keeping room off the kitchen give everyone a reason to gather. The eat-in kitchen has the counter space and walk-in pantry to actually feed a full house. At 4,853 total square feet on a 0.41-acre lot, there's room to spread out — plus a front porch, screened rear porch, deck, and lower patio. The Preserve at Jordan Lake adds a pool, racquet courts, and the Davis Love III golf course, all zoned for Chatham County's North Chatham Elementary, Margaret B. Pollard Middle, and Seaforth High. Seller offering a $5,000 credit at closing with an acceptable offer.
