Property Description

Mid-Century Modern Retreat in the Heart of Chapel Hill! Tucked away in a private, wooded setting, this 1971 JP Goforth-built contemporary home feels like living in a treehouse while being just minutes from everything Chapel Hill offers. Its striking mid-century modern design features a durable metal roof and warm cedar siding. Inside, contemporary touches shine through with soaring ceilings, dramatic skylights, and expansive windows that flood the space with natural light and frame tranquil views of the trees and creek. The main-level primary suite provides easy one-floor living, complemented by two additional bedrooms and a second full bath. A large deck spans the length of the home, creating an ideal spot for entertaining or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings. This rare blend of modern architecture and natural beauty delivers a true retreat right in central Chapel Hill.
