A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH! This is a rare opportunity to buy a true mid-century Modernist home, unblemished by prior renovations, ready for your restoration & vision.Located in the heart of one of Chapel Hill's most cherished neighborhoods, KIngs Mill-Morgan Creek, a neighborhood that was built with special consideration for the environment of the area & due to this is replete with Modernist homes. Many notables, including Dean Smith & James Taylor have called the area home. This home aligns with the Modernist concept of incorporating nature inside, with its walls of windows in the the living & family rooms. In addition to its views, the charm of the living room is enhanced by a brick half-wall with wood burning fireplace. There are parquet floors throughout. Located on the backside of the home, the 3 bedrroms and 2 baths gain added privacy. Limitless opportunities for gardening and outdoor fun are provided by the large lot, & a swimming pool, recently drained & cleaned, ready for reactivation. Explore the natural beauty of the area with walks to NC Botanical Garden & its trails, the trails along Morgan Creek, perhaps to Elephant Rock, or around Merritt's Pasture, where you might see an Indigo Bunting. Conveniently located on the south side of Chapel Hill, within walking distance of UNC Hospital, Medical School & the Dean Dome, this house is indeed a special place to live.
