Description

Welcome to this beautifully crafted home in the sought-after Chapel Hill community, where nature and tranquility come together in perfect harmony, perfectly sited on just over one acre of thoughtfully landscaped grounds. With 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, this serene retreat is thoughtfully nestled on a picturesque lot framed by mature trees and lush, landscaped surroundings. A sense of calm sets in from the moment you step onto the covered front porch, offering peaceful views of the gently manicured grounds. Inside, the double door entry leads to an inviting foyer featuring slate tile flooring and classic box wainscoting. The sunlit living room, wrapped in windows, showcases rich hardwood floors that seamlessly continue into the formal dining room, complete with elegant chair railing. Joyously prepare and share meals in a well-designed kitchen, where granite countertops and a full-height granite backsplash pair beautifully with stainless steel appliances. A peninsula with a prep sink adds both function and flow to this welcoming space. Just off the dining area, the three-season sunroom with its cathedral ceiling and ceiling fan creates the perfect transition to the breathtaking rear grounds, where every glance offers a moment of serenity. Whether you're watching the wildlife, sipping morning coffee, or taking in the ever-changing colors of the seasons, this outdoor sanctuary is a true escape. On the opposite side of the dining area, a cozy family room invites relaxation with its exposed brick wall, neutral wood-beamed ceiling, and brick-surround wood-burning fireplace. Nearby, a multi-functional entryway with laundry hook-ups offers added convenience with cabinet storage, and a granite-topped utility counter. A main-level powder room completes the thoughtfully laid-out floor plan. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a private bath and walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms and a recently updated full hall bath complete the peaceful sleeping quarters. The finished lower level expands your living space, featuring a recreation area perfect for games or casual gatherings, and a separate area with custom-built-in cabinetry—ideal as a home office or potential guest suite. Outside, the rear yard is simply stunning. A composite deck guides you to a path of natural stone leading to the in-ground pool, complete with pool house, new shed (2024), and a custom-crafted retaining wall. Every detail has been designed for both beauty and ease of living, from the updated sunroom to the new pool pump. Here, every day feels like a getaway—peaceful, grounded in nature, and ready to welcome you home. **Within the 5-mile radius of Newark Charter School** Ring Doorbell in use Please leave gates closed at all times because of pool
