This one-year lease is ideal for academic sabbaticals, executive relocations, or families who want to experience the best of Chapel Hill and Carrboro before buying. The home is fully furnished, thoughtfully equipped, and designed for comfortable,... everyday living.
This 5-bedroom, 4-bath residence offers approximately 3,000 sq ft of flexible living space on a 0.4-acre lot, blending modern comfort with mid-century warmth. The location is exceptional: walk-zone to McDougle Elementary and Middle Schools, bikeable to downtown Carrboro, and just 5 miles to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The main level features hardwood floors throughout, a cozy den with gas fireplace, a parlor well suited to puzzles or formal dining, and multiple flex spaces. A dedicated “teen room” works equally well as an office or artist studio, and a main-level bedroom with full bath is currently set up as a fully equipped office with sit/stand desk and printer. The updated kitchen includes a large center island, 2025 Bosch 800 appliances, a brand-new induction range, and easy access to the deck with a 4-burner Weber gas grill. An epic screened-in porch tucked among the trees is a favorite spot year-round.
Upstairs, the home offers a well-designed bedroom layout. Two generous bedrooms share a full bath, another bedroom includes an ensuite bath and can be configured with either a queen bed or desk setup, and the primary suite is a true retreat with vaulted ceilings, backyard views, and a spa-like walk-in shower.
Outdoor spaces are a standout. The sunny front yard includes fenced vegetable and flower gardens (enjoy cut flowers all summer), while the backyard features a basketball court with flood lights, a paved seating area with Adirondack chairs, and a ninja line. The property backs to a 10-acre wooded lot, creating a peaceful natural buffer and exceptional privacy.
We love this home and neighborhood deeply and are seeking a trustworthy couple or family who will enjoy and care for it during our sabbatical year.
