2714 New Hope Church Rd Chapel Hill, NC 27514

Listing details for 2714 New Hope Church Rd, Chapel Hill, NC 27514 : In this day and age where our nervous systems are taxed to the max, this special piece of property offers the opportunity to reconnect with nature and touch grass on the daily. Nestled into a beautiful pastoral setting on nearly 19 acres, the house was originally built in 1966 and then revamped with a 1977 Jon Condoret house design and addition which is just itching for someone to sprinkle some 21st century magic on it. The bones are solid, as is the floor plan - which provides four bedrooms and two and a half baths, plus a partially finished full basement that could be transformed into an awesome bonus room. Earthy and approachable, the house possesses a mix of materials not typically seen in new construction such as flagstone flooring and tons of wood detail. The house also shows off the vaulted ceilings, ample windows, and wood beam rafters that are hallmarks of Condoret designs. On those warm weather evenings, you'll find your zen by listening to nature's sound machine in the form of a meandering Stony Creek from the comfort of an elevated, covered back deck. The local treasure that is Brumley Forest sits just a short distance away, so throw your leg over your trusty steed and head on down for some 5-star mountain biking or hiking. If analog is more your thing, revamp the barn and move your horses right on in. They'll be stoked on the tender grass everywhere, you'll be thrilled with not having an HOA to micromanage you. Fun (related) fact: Birdsong can lower cortisol levels and reduce anxiety. The back half of the property consists of a beautiful hardwood forest, upon which you could construct your own trail system for those extended forest bathing and/or birdwatching sessions. Or if you have dreams of a commune, there's plenty of room for additional dwellings. Deep breaths will come easy and the exhales long when you make this special property yours.
