Property Description

Tucked away in the woods and set back from the street, this enchanting Westwood cottage offers rare privacy just moments from the heart of Chapel Hill. Within walking distance to downtown CH and the UNC campus, this recently remodeled home perfectly balances timeless charm with modern updates.

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.
