About this home
A rare opportunity to own a truly one-of-a-kind property created by a respected local custom builder as his personal residence. Privately set on more than 4 acres in Chapel Hill, this estate combines timeless architecture and extraordinary craftsmanship with an unusually versatile collection of living spaces—including a substantial workshop/garage, private guest apartment and separate studio. Designed and built with uncompromising attention to detail, the home features extensive custom millwork/cabinetry, beautiful hardwood floors, handcrafted stonework and thoughtfully designed spaces that feel both refined and welcoming. The architecture strikes a timeless balance between classic and modern farmhouse influences—elegant without being formal and distinctive without being trend-driven. Beyond the main residence, the property offers a rare collection of additional spaces seldom found together in one estate. A 1,400+ square-foot workshop/garage provides generous room for cars, hobbies, equipment or creative pursuits. Above it, an approximately 800-square-foot private apartment includes a bedroom, full bath and laundry. A separate studio with a Murphy bed and half bath adds yet another flexible space for guests, work, art or personal use. Outside, more than four acres create a private retreat surrounded by mature trees, beautiful landscaping, custom stone walls, a vegetable garden and a cutting garden. Expansive outdoor spaces invite quiet mornings, entertaining and enjoying the feeling of a private country estate while remaining conveniently located to Chapel Hill, Jordan Lake and the greater Triangle. This is more than a custom home—it is a thoughtfully crafted property designed for the way people actually want to live. Exceptional quality, privacy, versatility and timeless design come together in a setting that is increasingly difficult to find....
