About this home

Undeniable curb appeal announces this extraordinary 1939 Greenwood estate before you even step inside. Set on a private, one-acre wooded lot and cloaked in mystery by its rare Jeffersonian serpentine brick wall, the property unfolds along a brick paver, wood-lined walkway to an iconic wrap-around porch, the kind built for rocking chairs, sweet tea, and long evenings. Step through the door and discover a masterful blend of old-world character and modern luxury across three finished levels. Gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout light-filled rooms, anchored by a gathering room framed in a wall of windows, transom detail, and custom built-ins. The chef's kitchen is a study in refinement: a Wolf gas range, dual dishwashers, wine refrigerator, ice maker, walk-in pantry. A sophisticated wet bar, complete with glass-front cabinetry, sets the stage for effortless entertaining. Rest and retreat are equally elevated with 2 exquisite primary suites, one on each level, offering spa-caliber bathrooms appointed with a classic claw-foot soaking tub, oversized walk-in closets, and separate glass showers. A third-floor retreat adds even more flexibility, room perfect for a bedroom/office/playroom, full bath, and private gym, ideal for guests, a home fitness studio, or a peaceful work-from-home escape. The outdoor living is every bit as extraordinary as what's found within. Ascend from the upper primary suite to a private rooftop veranda, then descend a graceful spiral staircase to a fully fenced, resort-style rear yard centered on a stunning heated pool, a private oasis designed for al fresco entertaining beneath the stars. Completing this exceptional offering is a fully furnished 708-square-foot guest apartment or in-law suite above the garage, thoughtfully finished with its own kitchen, stainless appliances, washer/dryer, and a generous 13x16 living room, perfect for guests, extended family, or a private studio retreat. Ideally situated just moments from Battle Park, the University of North Carolina campus and hospital, PlayMakers Repertory Company, and Chapel Hill's finest dining and shopping, this is a rare offering where timeless architecture meets uncompromising luxury.
