About this home
A rare opportunity awaits under $1 million in The Oaks, Chapel Hill's highly sought-after country club neighborhood! Exquisitely reimagined and lovingly maintained, this Goforth custom contemporary is a true statement home. The tone is set the moment you step into the welcoming foyer, where crab orchard stone flooring introduces the home's distinctive architecture, clean lines, and walls of windows that invite the outside in. Entertaining is effortless in the expansive family room, anchored by a cozy gas-log fireplace and custom built-ins. Just beyond, the dining room commands attention with a designer chandelier, vaulted ceilings, and dramatic windows framing serene, tree-lined views. At the heart of the home is a beautifully renovated kitchen that is as functional as it is stylish. Boasting quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and an elite appliance package--including a KitchenAid range, Thermador microwave, and Bosch dishwasher--it flows seamlessly into a sunlit breakfast room. Whether you're heading to the dedicated home office or mixing a drink at the serving bar, the layout is designed for modern living. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a luxurious private sanctuary, complete with striking vaulted ceilings and a beautifully appointed spa bath featuring a soaking tub and separate shower. Every bedroom in this home is thoughtfully designed, including two additional upstairs ensuites and a private main-level guest suite with its own deck. In addition to the numerous interior updates, the home also has had these recent updates: exterior trim/board & batten work, exterior paint, one new water heater, new ac - all in 2024, and new roof around 2020. Hoping for a main-level primary? You're in luck! The current owners have already worked with an architect and secured approved permits from the Town of Chapel Hill to convert the main-level guest suite into a stunning primary wing. The plans are ready to go! Outside, enjoy gracious outdoor living with a covered porch, a generous deck overlooking the fenced backyard, and curated landscaping. Complete with a two-car porte-cochere, circular drive, and versatile lower-level workshop space, this home truly has it all. Districted to acclaimed East Chapel Hill High School and located just a short walk from the Country Club, you are only minutes from UNC, Meadowmont, and downtown. Enjoy refined living in one of Chapel Hill's most coveted communities....
