Carolina blue skies ahead. This custom Dixon Kirby Dutch Colonial in Meadowmont makes a graceful first impression with ten-foot ceilings, oversized 6-over-1 windows and hardwood floors throughout. Consider this your invitation because the rest of the house keeps the conversation going. The open kitchen is made for hosting and for the hosts who linger there. A Sub-Zero refrigerator, 36" gas range and 8' granite island with seating anchor the space while an under-counter beverage cooler and walk-in pantry keep the details effortless. The full-size breakfast nook handles everything from weekday coffee to a leisurely brunch. The main-level primary suite knows how to unwind. Heated bath floors, dual vanities, a separate water closet, a tiled walk-in shower with two shower heads and a soaking tub set a decidedly spa-like tone. Two walk-in closets and a door to the covered quaint porch complete the scene, ideal for morning tea, a little scrolling or well-earned quiet. Flexibility is the house's best trick. The bonus room, with its own staircase, plays any role you cast: golf simulator, fitness studio, teen lounge or a playroom for ambitious LEGO architecture. The main-floor laundry room keeps daily life running smoothly. Upstairs are a bedroom en-suite, two bedrooms connected by a generous bath with dual vanities, a nook for an office or craft projects and a separate gaming room. The unfinished walk-up third floor awaits as storage or future living space. The screened porch addition is the star of the evening. A stacked stone gas fireplace, built-in speakers, wall-mounted infrared heaters and ceiling fans make it a four-season space for living and dining. Beyond it, a fenced backyard framed by hardwood trees sets an intimate stage for a solo stove, s'mores and Adirondack chairs. The 2-car garage is equally well-appointed, with an EV charger, built-in cabinets and work counter for the tinkerer in residence. Meandering, sidewalk-lined streets lead to Meadowmont Village, parks, playgrounds, trails and YMCA at Meadowmont. A polished address with plenty of personality.

Get in this corner lot cul-de-sac home before the Holidays! This home in the highly anticipated new phase of Tupelo Junction already has the stressful decisions out of the way. The design selections are done, they're good, and honestly... you were probably pinned half of them on Pinterest anyway. Inside, the open layout somehow makes everyone end up in the kitchen no matter their original intentions. A ''quick snack'' turns into standing around the island for 45 minutes discussing life, deciding NOW is the time to start deep cleaning the fridge, or staring out the window wondering if starting a sourdough starter would fix your problems. The kitchen brings the personality and class with a gas range, single bowl sink, soft-close dovetail drawers, and finishes from the Yin and Yang interior package that feel casually lux in the best way. The family room fireplace adds instant cozy energy, while the study creates the perfect spot for working from home or dramatically staring at your laptop while accomplishing almost nothing. The covered porch extends the living space outside for coffee mornings, late-night wine conversations, or escaping your own household for exactly 12 peaceful minutes. Upstairs, the four bedrooms give everyone space to spread out while the expansive primary suite offers yet another place to close the door and enjoy a little piece of your own sanctuary. Located near Lake Michael with many current and future amenities and gathering spaces (including a future pool!) that slowly turn staying home into your entire personality. Reach out today before someone else beats you to it!

Discover a sweet Carolina home where convenience, nature and predominantly single-level living come together just minutes from downtown Chapel Hill and UNC-Chapel Hill—and with no HOA. Set on nearly half an acre in an established Chapel Hill neighborhood with an active community, this charming ranch-style home offers two bedrooms plus a flexible bonus room/office, ideal for working from home, hobbies, guests or additional living space. With no HOA, you can enjoy the freedom of your own property without association dues or restrictions. This is a home that has truly been loved, and nowhere is that more evident than in the abundant gardens surrounding it. Thoughtfully planted with native plants that attract bees, Monarch butterflies and hummingbirds, the property feels like a private nature retreat while remaining remarkably close to everything Chapel Hill has to offer. Don't be surprised to spot deer sauntering through the yard, too. Inside, enjoy predominantly main-level living with only a few steps within the home. To the rear, a large split-level deck extends the living space outdoors—the perfect spot for morning coffee, soaking up the Carolina sunshine, evening libations or simply sitting quietly and watching the wildlife pass by. And for buyers thinking about the lot size, the sellers have completed a soil study exploring the potential to expand the home. The existing septic system may be relocated to accommodate a future addition, giving the next owner an exciting opportunity to investigate creating additional living space. Nearly half an acre. No HOA. Close to downtown Chapel Hill and UNC, yet surrounded by mature greenery, native gardens and wildlife. It's a wonderful combination of accessibility, flexibility and a quieter connection to nature. I highly recommend experiencing this sweet Chapel Hill home in person—it has a feeling that simply can't be captured in photographs.
