About this home

This exquisite estate, located in the heart of Chapel Hill in the Gimghoul Historic District, is a rare find! Set on over 3 acres, 740 Gimghoul Road includes four properties, which are being sold together. The 10,446 square foot main house, built in 2009, is flooded with natural light and has the perfect floor plan. The home is made for entertaining, but it also has a very smart layout that allows for every room to be enjoyed during everyday life. The design of this home is flawless! There are high-end finishes at every turn and there is a peacefulness to the home that greets you the minute to step foot in it. Located just steps from the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill, this Gimghoul property is in the perfect location, allowing one to enjoy all that Chapel Hill has to offer while being a very private home. With 5 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms, 3 powder rooms, a chef's kitchen, a prep kitchen, a library, an office, a perfect guest suite, a huge heated screened porch, 2 two-car garages, and 7 wood-burning fireplaces, this home has it all. Interior photos of the 1,100 square foot cottage will be added soon!
