About this home

Gracefully situated on 2.8 park-like acres in the coveted Lake Forest neighborhood, 820 Kenmore Road is a masterfully crafted Georgian estate designed by esteemed architect Archie Royal Davis and brought to life by the craftsmanship of George Birmingham. With nearly 6,000 square feet of living space, this stately home exemplifies the elegance and proportion of classic Southern architecture—refined, timeless, and deeply rooted in tradition.
A gracious first-floor primary suite offers both privacy and convenience, while three additional bedrooms and two full baths upstairs provide generous accommodations for family or guests. Throughout the home, scale and symmetry blend with warm millwork, rich materials, and an abundance of natural light.
The 2.8-acre grounds offer endless opportunity for outdoor living and future expansion—and for those seeking even more space or investment potential, an adjacent 2.8-acre parcel is available for purchase separately at $725,000, creating a truly rare opportunity in the heart of Chapel Hill.
This is a home of heritage, quality, and enduring beauty—a place where the past informs the present, and every detail tells a story. A property like this only comes available once in a generation. There is an opportunity to purchase adjoining property 812 Kenmore Road as well as additional 2.8 acres on Lot 3.
