About this home
A DISTINCTIVE CHAPEL HILL RETREAT Some homes offer more than a place to live. They offer a setting, a feeling, and the opportunity to create something truly your own. Tucked into Lake Forest Estates, just 1.5 miles from Wegmans, this distinctive 1971 home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and an exceptional .65-acre, tree-lined property where deer make their daily appearances. Adding to its appeal, this section of the neighborhood enjoys lake rights to Eastwood Lake, bringing an added dimension of outdoor enjoyment to everyday living. Inside, warm wood floors, a striking wood-paneled vaulted ceiling, expansive windows, and a wood-burning fireplace create a character all their own. The incredible sunroom invites you to slow down and enjoy the surrounding landscape, while the enormous primary bedroom offers its own private balcony, a peaceful retreat to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. Outdoor living continues with a huge back deck, providing abundant space for entertaining, dining, or simply enjoying the beauty of the tree-lined surroundings. Freshly painted and ready for its next chapter, this home offers a wonderful opportunity to make a distinctive property your own. Whether you envision a thoughtfully refreshed mid-century retreat, a home designed around indoor-outdoor living, or a property that evolves with your next chapter, this is an opportunity to bring your vision to life in a sought-after Chapel Hill setting. Distinctive character. A beautiful natural setting. Lake access. And the opportunity to make this home part of your next chapter.
