Tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac gated on more than three private acres, this custom Loyd Builders estate is the kind of home that rarely comes to market in Chapel Hill and almost never inside the coveted Chapel Hill school district. Completed in 2022 and impeccably maintained, it lives like a five-star resort while still feeling warm, welcoming, and effortless for everyday life. Mornings begin with coffee beneath a jasmine-draped pergola; afternoons drift toward the infinity-edge pool and waterfall spa; evenings gather around the fire pit, rocking chairs and all. A covered outdoor living room, see-through fireplace, television, phantom screens, and a resort-caliber outdoor kitchen make entertaining feel seamless in every season. Beyond, there's room for everything: a sport court for basketball or pickleball, a full batting cage, and raised garden beds. Inside, the craftsmanship shows everywhere. A dramatic glass wine cellar anchors the main level, and a signature bar with a whiskey-barrel wall sets the tone for game nights. The kitchen opens to a full scullery, and an elevator connects every floor with ease. The light-filled walk-out lower level offers a movie theater, a fitness room that opens straight to the lawn, and a private guest suite, while the upstairs primary is a true retreat with a spa bath and expansive custom closet. Whole-house generator, automatic shades, gated entry. A home built and lived in like a private luxury getaway. This one has to be experienced in person.

Built in 1922, this home strikes that rare balance between preserving its original character and embracing thoughtful updates. Nothing here feels rushed or trendy. This isn't a fix-and-flip, but a home that has been carefully improved while keeping the details that make older homes special. Located just outside the Hillsborough town limits, you'll enjoy the benefit of county taxes while remaining just minutes from everything the area has to offer. Inside, original and reclaimed hardwood floors, bead board walls and ceilings, and abundant natural light create a warm, inviting feel. The home offers two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a dedicated office, giving you flexibility whether you're working from home, hosting guests, or simply looking for a little extra space just for you. The kitchen is equipped with gas cooking and newer appliances, including the refrigerator, stove, stackable washer and dryer, and vent hood. A 2023 HVAC system with a dehumidifier, a low-maintenance metal roof, and high-speed internet bring modern convenience without sacrificing the home's historic appeal. Outside, the nearly one-acre property offers room to breathe. Mostly fenced and bordered by woods on the side and rear, the setting feels private and peaceful. Enjoy your morning coffee from the rocking chair front porch, spend evenings with the sounds of nature on the brick patio, or tend the raised garden beds already populated with blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. A perennial garden, storage shed, and parking for three vehicles complete the property. Rare is a word that's often overused in real estate, but it fits here. A tastefully updated 100+ year old bungalow with so much original character, situated on nearly an acre of land, with county taxes, and a price that's increasingly difficult to find in today's market is a combination that doesn't come along often.
