About this home

Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind modernist home in one of Chapel Hill's most prestigious neighborhoods for under a million dollars. Situated on nearly an acre in The Oaks, just around the corner from the beautiful Chapel Hill Country Club golf course, this home blends distinctive original architecture, high-end updates, a stunning addition with its own private entrance, and a world-class professional pickleball court that has hosted some of the best players in the world. Thoughtful renovations preserve the home's architectural character, including exposed beams and warm wood ceilings, while beautifully updated bathrooms and modern improvements add everyday comfort. A new roof, two new HVAC systems, new water heaters, and an upgraded electrical panel provide peace of mind and help eliminate unexpected maintenance costs. A fully permitted addition over the garage dramatically expands the home's versatility with its own entrance, bedroom, bathroom, and office. Whether you envision an additional primary suite, guest quarters, multigenerational living, a private creative studio, or an income-producing Airbnb, the possibilities are endless. The current office has been configured as a podcast recording studio with removable sound treatment, making it equally appealing for musicians, content creators, remote professionals, or anyone who simply wants a quiet workspace. Outside, you'll find the feature that truly sets this property apart: a professional-level pickleball court that has hosted world-class players, including Ben Johns and Tyson McGuffin. If pickleball is your passion, you've found your dream home. If not, the court easily transforms into space for basketball, tennis practice, kids' activities, or unforgettable evenings dancing under the stars. The large level yard offers even more room for fire-pit gatherings, picnics, lawn games, and entertaining on a grand scale. Beyond the property, you'll love being just moments from the beautiful Chapel Hill Country Club golf course, making it easy to enjoy a round of golf or simply take in the scenic surroundings. Trader Joe's, Bar Taco, shopping, and Silverspot at University Place are just minutes away, with convenient access to UNC, Duke, and I-40.
