Step right up, folks, and feast your eyes on this absolute showstopper of a home! Nestled in the magical embrace of Chapel Hill, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom Arthur Cogswell mid-century stunner is the perfect mashup of luxury, nature, and pure personality. Clocking in at a spacious 3,165 square feet, it's not just a home--it's your own private retreat. Oh, and did we mention? It cozies right up to the enchanting Battle Creek Park. Think serene walking trails, lush greenery, and the kind of peace you'd expect from a mountain getaway right in your backyard. But here's the kicker: you're just a hop, skip, and a jump from campus and downtown. Best of both worlds? Check. Let's talk upgrades--because this beauty's got them all. We're talking a total glow-up in 2012 from top to bottom. Electrical? Yep. Plumbing? You bet. And the finishes? Chef's kiss. Kohler faucets, Toto toilets, quartz countertops, custom cherry cabinetry--this house is flexing its luxury muscles. The kitchen? A culinary dreamland with stainless steel appliances and storage galore. The bathrooms? Spa vibes only. And don't even get us started on the wide-plank bamboo floors--they're as warm and welcoming as your first cup of coffee. Now, let's talk versatility. Need a dedicated workspace? You'll love the home office with its built-in cabinets, perfect for staying organized and productive. Have a vision for a guest suite or private retreat? Put a closet back in and voila. Moving outside, the 400-square-foot patio is primed for your next BBQ blowout, and the decks? Oh, they've been decked out (pun fully intended) with Ipe wood, steel supports, and stainless cable railings. Translation: they're gorgeous and built to last. And speaking of lasting, the energy-efficient HVAC, spray foam insulation, and commercial-grade windows mean you'll be living comfy and eco-chic. But wait, there's more! The detached carport is hiding a little secret--a 295-square-foot heated and cooled flex space. Workshop? Art studio? More office space? Gaming den? You do you. It's your playground. With fresh paint and a high-tech alarm system, this house is as move-in ready as it gets. So, what are you waiting for? This Battle Park beauty is bursting with personality, upgrades, and charm. Whether you're strolling nature trails, setting up your dream office, or hitting downtown for dinner, this home has it all. It's not just a house--it's the one you've been dreaming of.
