Location! In the back (no thru-traffic!) of one of Chapel Hills most beloved neighborhoods where these (larger) homes rarely turn over, 209 is a custom built brick home beautifully sited in an elevated position on a large lot. With great "bones" and recently re-certified as structurally impeccable - the engineer even verbally used the wording "built like a fortress". The exterior is in excellent condition and features such eye-catchers as the stunning standing seam copper awning over charming bay in bright breakfast room. The interior has been very well maintained, if not cosmetically up to the moment. Versatile floorplan, with front and back stairways and great flow for having lots of people over. Potentially two primary suites with two en-suite bedrooms. Every window opens on to nature and natural light! Family room with gas fireplace and soaring ceilings - flooded with light - looks out on huge back yard - opens to brick screened porch Two bedrooms and a full bath in their own wing on main level. Spacious 2nd floor Bonus/office/playroom with seven windows, all new. Loads of storage throughout. Fun house to live in. Brick patio area, SO much yard space can be a gardener's dream, enhanced entertainment space or a giant play area. It has known many years of laughter, egg hunts, outdoor games and barbecues! Spacious kitchen with island (solid surface), wonderful hardwood floors, open to Breakfast room and Dining room. Back stairs from Garage entry area. Primary bath features a brand new (built from the bottom up in May) custom standing tile shower. This bath is ez to enlarge - plans are available in the house. Many dormers, one large one completely sheetrocked with a light creating a big conditioned storage closet in primary bedroom. No carpet! This is a special home which the buyer will make into their own vision, perhaps after living in it for a while. Many upgrades made. Significant work in the last months vastly improved certain areas. See full list. Buyer will want to do further upgrades - Priced to reflect that. Seller is a licensed Realtor
