About this home

A Mid-Century Sanctuary in the Heart of Chapel Hill Discover a true ''pocket neighborhood'' hidden in plain sight. Located within the coveted Mason Farm/Whitehead Circle Neighborhood Conservation District, this 1947 William Sprinkle-designed gem offers a peaceful, one-level retreat just steps from UNC Hospitals, Kenan-Flagler, and the Dean Smith Center. With no cut-through streets, this quiet enclave provides a rare sense of seclusion in the center of town. The home's architectural lineage is immediately apparent in its authentic Eichler Weldtex-style siding and soaring, timber-beamed ceilings. Inside, smoked white oak hardwoods flow throughout an airy, light-filled floor plan. Upon entry, a private wing leads to the primary suite and two additional well-appointed bedrooms. A multi-purpose flex room with its own full bath serves as a quiet study, library, or guest suite. The heart of the home is a masterclass in organic modern living. The galley-style kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring custom cabinetry, Carrera marble countertops, and a premium stainless suite including a 5-burner gas cooktop and double wall-mount convection ovens. Entertaining is effortless with the adjoining wine bar and pantry, complete with an under-counter cooler, transitioning seamlessly into a second expansive living and dining area. Here, a wood-burning fireplace and second vaulted ceiling create a grand yet cozy atmosphere for gatherings. Practicality meets high design with a rear-entry mudroom and laundry center, a Rinnai tankless water heater, and a new roof (March 2024). Outside, the one-acre homesite is a natural masterpiece, featuring dramatic boulder outcroppings and a low-maintenance landscape. The large, fenced backyard offers a secure play area for pets or the perfect canvas for a custom fire-pit lounge. The property is completed by a two-car detached garage featuring modern frosted glass panel doors and three substantial storage closets for garden and recreational gear. Experience a residence that is not just a home, but a piece of Chapel Hill's architectural history.
