209 Butternut Chapel Hill, NC 27514

Listing details for 209 Butternut , Chapel Hill, NC 27514 : What a location!! One of Chapel Hill's most sought after neighborhoods....why? Where to begin! Gorgeous larger lots, trees, birds, walk friendly (and walk or ride to Timberlyne shopping center plus other magical walking areas), Also incredibly close to East CH High School and Cedar Falls Park!! Wonderful neighbors, and so much more. Beautifully built brick home with stunning standing seam copper awning over charming bay in breakfast room. That room has been a real favorite place to gaze out at the birds, have friends over for coffee, and many times we had meals there as it is a special space! Loads of storage throughout. Fun house to live in with screened porch off both Living and Dining rooms, HUGE fenced backyard - room to make whatever you want of it - brick patio area - this property can be a gardener's dream or a giant play area. It has known many years of laughter, egg hunts, outdoor games and barbecues! There is also quite a bit of land part of this property to the right of the driveway. We started a little gravel path out to that area, put in a ''Gardenia Dell'' and had a gravel circle created a little farther out where we set up seating and an umbrella for quiet reading or resting right in the middle of a little paradise. You could do all sorts of things with this area or just leave it wild! First floor offers a separate wing with two bedrooms and a full bath. Bright and open spacious Living Room has walls of windows, gas fireplace, soaring ceiling and is sunken by two steps from either foyer or Dining room. Spacious kitchen with island (solid surface), open to Breakfast room and Dining room and wide open access to Living Room. Terrific flow for having lots of people over! Two staircases! Back stairs lead from Garage entry area to spacious Bonus room which has been many things - at times a big playroom, then sleepover central, now an office and sitting area - your options are endless! Has seven windows - all replaced last year, so the natural light is amazing even in the winter! Primary bath features a brand new (built from the bottom up in the last month!) standing tile shower. Many dormers, one large one completely sheetrocked with a light creating a big storage closet! Bedroom two is up the front stairs and has both primary suite and another ensuite bedroom with full bath and lovely tile flooring. This special home sits up on the hill providing wonderful privacy and views! It has been such a magical home to live in for so many years! Home has been well maintained and many upgrades made. Significant upgrades in the last month vastly improved a number of areas (complete list posted in documents) and there are still things you will want to create as your own. When we moved in, a couple of neighbors mentioned they had always thought this home could be the showplace of the neighborhood - make it your own....still so much more potential!
