About this home
Space, style and an exceptional Chapel Hill-Carrboro location come together in this beautifully designed custom home. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with a private path to the McDougle schools, this 5-bedroom, 5-bath home offers more than 4,000 square feet of light-filled living just minutes from downtown Carrboro and Chapel Hill. Inside, site-finished hardwoods, beautiful millwork and soaring ceilings bring character and a sense of craftsmanship throughout. The main level is designed for both gathering and everyday living, with an open kitchen, multiple living spaces and a private bedroom with full bath—ideal for guests, a home office or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite feels like a true retreat, joined by generously sized secondary bedrooms and an expansive bonus room. A light-filled third floor adds another wonderfully flexible space for a fifth bedroom, media room, studio, fitness space or second home office. The connection to the outdoors is equally inviting. A rocking-chair front porch, screened porch, stamped-concrete patio and level yard extend the living space outside, while mature trees and thoughtful landscaping create a private, peaceful setting. Nearby trails make it easy to enjoy the surrounding area! The roof and all three HVAC systems were replaced in 2021, with new carpet added in 2026. Close to the energy of Carrboro and Chapel Hill yet tucked into a serene setting of its own, 504 Rockgarden offers the rare combination of space, privacy, flexibility and connection—designed for the way you want to live.
