Nestled in one of Chapel Hill's most historic and coveted neighborhoods, this stunning 100-year-old home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the town's rich heritage. Located just a short walk to the University of North Carolina and all the vibrant offerings of downtown, this property perfectly blends the beauty of the past with the promise of the future. More details to follow, but an incredible opportunity awaits the buyer of 212—this property comes with an adjacent homesite, available exclusively to the new homeowner of 212 FIRST.
(JUST THE FACTS: Scroll down!)
The gracious foyer welcomes you and truly, they don't make them like this anymore. You step inside and immediately experience a sense of spaciousness that most modern construction has lost in an effort to maximize efficiency in every space. Stairs are NOT often a detail to highlight but. . . this staircase IS. Its graceful design showcases the craftsmanship of a bygone era and adds so much charm to the space, creating a striking focal point that honors the home's history while offering enduring beauty.
The living and dining rooms, just off the foyer, are bathed in natural light throughout the day. Sunbeams stream through the true divided light windows casting warm, patterned beams across both rooms. And as the sun sets, things quiet and the spaces become cozy enclaves to enjoy with friends and family.
The kitchen seamlessly connects to a breakfast nook and a spacious laundry room with built-ins for pantry space. But the highlight is the delightful screened sitting porch, just off the kitchen—an idyllic spot to sip your morning coffee and unwind in peaceful solitude. Off the kitchen, you'll discover a den - lined with windows providing views to a beautiful backyard- that has built-in shelves and a fireplace, along with a convenient vestibule entry from the side of the house, adding ease and practicality to everyday living.
The upper-level gallery- is truly a gallery. It adds an open, airy feel, while the home's architectural details—such as heart-of-pine floors and timeless moldings, showcase its character.
Upstairs you'll find four spacious bedrooms and 2 full baths. The owner's suite boasts a sunporch off the back offering a great spot to enjoy the surrounding mature landscaping and tranquil views.
With its beautiful homesite, mature trees, and unique charm, this property is ready for someone to lovingly usher it into its next 100 years. It's a rare gem waiting to be cherished, restored, and transformed—offering an unparalleled opportunity to live in the heart of Chapel Hill's history while enjoying all the conveniences of modern life.
JUST THE FACTS: 4 Bedrooms, 2 Full Baths, 2 Half Baths, 2 Sun Porches, 2 Fireplaces, Living Room, Dining Room, Breakfast Nook, Den, Laundry/Pantry, Office, Screened Sitting Porch, Patio, Mature Landscaping.
AVAILABLE HOMESITE: 210 W University, please call Erin for details. It will not be marketed until the new owner of 212 has made a decision to/not to purchase, and until 212 officially closes. So please do not call with requests to purchase 210 individually. Thank you.
