Light-filled, nature-connected and wonderfully located, this 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath ranch offers a fresh, contemporary feel in an established Chapel Hill setting. Originally built in 1966, the home features an open main living area with a distinctive peaked ceiling and skylight, complemented by floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open the living spaces to the surrounding trees and decks. The recent remodel includes new kitchen cabinetry, a new range and refrigerator, site-finished white oak hardwood flooring throughout, and new bathroom vanities and ceramic tile flooring. Both bathrooms feature tiled tub/shower surrounds. A recent renovation added a practical entryway, laundry and mudroom. Updated vinyl windows add to the home's comfort and appeal. Enjoy the outdoors from the spacious front deck or large rear deck, surrounded by mature trees and a low-maintenance natural landscape—no grass to mow, with the trees providing a steady supply of pine straw. The property is located within a designated flood plain, and the price reflects this condition. A stream crosses the lot from the back left corner toward the front right. During the Chantal storm, creek waters rose to floor level and the home subsequently underwent professional remediation by Carolina Restoration. Electrical and plumbing systems have since been repaired and permitted. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding flood risk, insurance requirements and future use. The location is a standout: walk to Ephesus Elementary, Ephesus Park, Trader Joe's and nearby shopping and restaurants, including Guglhupf. Convenient bus access provides an easy connection to downtown Chapel Hill and UNC-Chapel Hill. The home is in the East Chapel Hill High School district and offers convenient access to UNC, Durham, Duke and Research Triangle Park. Previously owner-occupied and rented, the property also offers potential appeal for investors. Rental records are available to interested buyers. A remodeled Chapel Hill ranch with abundant natural light, generous outdoor living, a low-maintenance wooded lot and an exceptionally convenient location.
