About this home

Have you ever wanted to live in a park? How about a home that not only feels like your own secret garden but actually neighbors Chapel Hill's beloved Ephesus Park. Leave the car behind and embrace an active, connected lifestyle--jog scenic nature trails, meet friends for pickleball or tennis, or make walking the family to and from school a part of your daily commute. This hard-to-find brick ranch offers single-level living with wall-to-wall hardwood floors, set on nearly half an acre. A true gardener's dream, the property features custom fenced garden beds, along with the perfect garden shed to support your outdoor passions. Nestled among the trees, yet still splashed with natural light throughout thanks to multiple skylights. A cozy fireplace anchors the open flow between the spacious dining area and well-equipped kitchen, complete with granite countertops and a center island. Unwind outside to a large rear deck--perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing while overlooking shaded backyard and garden. Home is located in flood plain; please refer to agent documents for additional information.
