Warm and welcoming, the interior showcases stunning original heart pine and red oak floors, abundant natural light, and a layout designed for comfortable everyday living. The transformed kitchen is a true highlight, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a classic subway tile backsplash.

A cozy family room with a wood-burning fireplace creates the perfect gathering space, while thoughtfully preserved original details throughout the home add character and authenticity you simply can't replicate.

Step outside to a beautifully executed, private landscape complete with stone walls, a tranquil water feature, stone patios, and a spacious screened porch -- ideal for morning coffee, evening entertaining, or simply enjoying the peaceful wooded setting.

Charming, private, and walkable to everything Chapel Hill has to offer, this special cottage is truly a rare find.
