Property Description

Originally designed in 1974 by renowned local architect JP Goforth, this remarkable mid-century modern residence offers true one-level living and has been meticulously reimagined over the past 2.5 years, with nearly $1M invested to blend architectural authenticity with modern refinement.

Set on two private acres and backing directly to Duke Forest, the home feels completely immersed in nature. Walls of windows frame serene wooded views in nearly every direction, filling the interiors with natural light and creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. Expansive decks and a screened porch extend the living space outward, offering multiple spaces to relax, entertain, and enjoy the quiet beauty of the surrounding landscape.

Inside, clean architectural lines and vaulted ceilings create the openness that defines true mid-century design. The layout offers the flexibility to live as a 4-bedroom plus office, ideal for guests, work, or additional living space. The kitchen blends modern functionality with timeless materials, featuring warm wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, a waterfall island, and sleek contemporary finishes. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, private patio access, and a beautifully designed ensuite bath complete with a soaking tub and walk-in glass shower.

Beyond its architectural significance, the property offers an equally compelling location. Tucked into a quiet wooded setting yet just minutes from downtown Chapel Hill and Durham, the home also benefits from the highly coveted combination of Chapel Hill schools without city taxes.

Thoughtfully restored and beautifully positioned within its natural surroundings, 202 Mimosa Drive represents a rare opportunity to own a true mid-century modern home in one of the Triangle's most desirable locations.
