This charming 1.01 acre estate was built in 1932 by Fred McCall and his wife, Adeline. Fred McCall was an attorney and distinguished professor of law at UNC. He and his wife were both musicians and helped establish the NC Symphony. Adeline McCall was a music teacher for decades in Orange County and niece of Frederick H. Koch, a founding member of Carolina Playmakers Theater. The property is part of the original Rocky Ridge Farm Historic District and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The historic home is a stunning demonstration of American Country vernacular and one of the finest in Chapel Hill. Mature hardwoods and landscaping, punctuated by stone walls, patios, and rare plantings create an idyllic setting. The ringing of the bells from UNC's Bell Tower and the unusual adjacent wooded round-about provide a natural and peaceful context. Historic character abounds with original moldings, hardware and period details, all of which have been lovingly preserved. The 20' x 26' living room with 14' tall trussed ceiling, masonry fireplace, French doors to stone terrace, secret door integrated in the Pickwick paneling and dental molding cornices set this house apart from others. This property has unparalleled features and epitomizes gracious Southern charm.
