Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street in the Oakwood Estates neighborhood, this Chapel Hill bungalow offers a tranquil retreat. Set back from the road with serene woodland views extending toward the Chapel Hill Country Club, this property whispers ''welcome home'' from the moment you arrive. Step into a gardener's paradise where sustainability meets beauty. Your private ''yarden'' - as the current homeowners lovingly call it - is a pollinator haven featuring native treasures like echinacea, goldenrod, and blue vervain alongside fragrant herbs including multiple varieties of sage and mint. Morning coffee tastes sweeter when picked fresh elderberries, Celeste figs, and thornless blackberries are just steps from your kitchen door. The thoughtfully designed landscape provides space for every lifestyle: room for chickens to roam, dogs to play, and children to explore while native redbuds and rose of Sharon create natural boundaries. Songbirds flock to this certified wildlife habitat, creating your own private symphony each morning. Cross the threshold into a home where every detail tells a story. Gleaming oak hardwood floors showcase stunning custom inlaid woodwork - a true work of art beneath your feet. Crown molding with picture ledge details and a gorgeous arched doorway frame abundant natural light streaming through the home. The heart of this home beats in the open kitchen and dining space, where a rustic architectural beam complements modern conveniences. Quartz countertops provide ample prep space for the home chef, while hidden storage in the kitchen island keeps everything organized. A ceramic sink beneath a garden window lets you tend indoor herbs while preparing meals, and the skylight above bathes everything in natural light. Thoughtful touches abound: a built-in pantry handles overflow storage, while the convenient Bosch stackable washer/dryer keeps daily life running smoothly. Floored attic space accessed via pull-down stairs provides additional storage without compromising the home's clean lines. The spacious primary bedroom serves as a peaceful retreat, while the secondary bedroom adapts effortlessly to your needs - home office by day, guest room by night, or dedicated creative studio. The full bath completes this thoughtfully designed living space. Nestled in the heart of Chapel Hill, Oakwood Estates offers a serene suburban setting just minutes from downtown, the University of North Carolina, and UNC Hospitals. This established neighborhood boasts tree-lined streets, spacious lots, and a blend of classic and contemporary homes, and a neighborhood park and tennis court making it ideal for families, professionals, and university affiliates alike. This isn't just a place to live; it's a place to thrive. Whether you're sipping morning coffee on the welcoming front deck, harvesting fresh herbs for dinner, or watching wildlife visit your pollinator garden, every day offers simple pleasures that make life meaningful.
