Carolina Classic Beauty! Offering 3,859 square feet of comfortable, elegant living space, this beautifully appointed home is nestled within The Oaks, one of the Triangle's premier communities and home to the renowned Chapel Hill Country Club. Set back from the road along a winding drive, the home showcases timeless architecture on a private, landscaped 1.52-acre lot. A level, fenced backyard features thoughtfully designed gravel walking paths that wind through flowering shrubs and mature trees, creating a serene, garden-like retreat. Outdoor living is exceptional with a spacious back deck, a freshly painted gazebo, and a screened-in porch--perfect for enjoying morning coffee or evening relaxation. Inside, the home offers a flexible floor plan that easily adapts to a variety of lifestyles. A connected apartment can function independently or be seamlessly incorporated into the main residence, making it ideal as a guest suite, nanny suite, or comfortable in-law quarters. Meticulously maintained as a no-shoes, no-pets household, this home is in truly exceptional condition. The residence is rich with detail and warmth, featuring hardwood floors throughout the main level and bedrooms, extensive millwork including crown molding and custom built-ins, abundant natural light through Pella windows, lovely views from every vantage point, plantation shutters on most windows, and a three-car garage providing ample storage and convenience. A portion of the front yard is located in flood plain, but the house is not in the flood plain... and the sellers were not required to have flood insurance.
