Home Description
Let's get acquainted with the Gimghoul neighborhood, developed on a prominent bluff and a sacred spot to the 1889 secret student society known as the Order of the Gimghouls. The Gimghouls bought 94 acres surrounding the bluff, built the Castle and subdivided 34 acres. Gimghoul is the first neighborhood developed after the original village of Chapel Hill; street names reflect romantic medieval mythology of the Gimghouls; its homes are impressively iconic with friendly sidewalks and great gardens. Glandon Drive was named for Glandon Forest which is now Battle Park with hiking trails and historic Forest Theatre.
Gorgeous, gracious 220 Glandon Drive is a Flagship of the neighborhood. Its front yard enjoys beautiful natural private views of 90+ acre Battle Park in Winter, Summer, Spring and Fall. Its back yard is a haven for entertaining and relaxing with over 2,000 square feet of patios, porches and plenty of parking (a rare commodity in downtown Chapel Hill!). Its vintage stone cottage adds a sweet spot for guests, separate quarters for study, options for she-shed/man-cave, perhaps a valuable apartment/office.
This home is one of Gimghoul's early estates, built in the 30s for Frances and Marjorie Bradshaw. Each of 220 Glandon's owners has taken great care to preserve its Colonial Revival roots yet add new personality to its impressive presence. Current owners engaged Belk Architecture and Tyson/Lewis Ventures to completely renovate the existing home and brilliantly conceive, create and catapult the property Into this century with user-friendly flair and fine finishes. It is an entertainers dream yet extremely comfortable for day-to-day life. Delightful gardens and landscape designed by renown Caroline Siverson add color and softness to mature trees and greenery.
