Home Description
Not your builder-basic Briar Chapel beauty—this one's been thoughtfully elevated from top to bottom.
Some homes feel like a house. This one feels like home. From the moment you arrive, you'll notice the difference—not just in finishes, but in intention. Nestled in one of Chapel Hill's most beloved communities, this home has been transformed far beyond its 2021 builder basics into something truly special.
Let's start with the location: this is the only home on the north end of Great Ridge Parkway that features both a screened-in porch (now a fully converted four-season room) and a deck—meaning you get the best of Carolina outdoor living all year long. Enjoy morning coffee with a breeze or an evening glass of wine with the windows open and the shades drawn. It's porch perfection.
Inside, the upgrades go far beyond paint colors and throw pillows. Since 2021, the current owners have reimagined nearly every surface with comfort, convenience, and elevated living in mind:
First-floor primary suite with a newly installed luxury vinyl plank floor, custom closet system, and a redesigned bath featuring deep linen shelving for those plush spa towels.
The kitchen? It's cooking! With an upgraded island that includes extended ends and custom legs, a modern stovetop with deep drawers below, and a sleek microwave over the oven. Plus, the dining area and kitchen sparkle under custom lighting.
The laundry room has been transformed into a dream zone, complete with a deep custom sink and pantry-style storage closets on each side—laundry day just got an upgrade.
Built-in bookshelves and cabinets grace the living room, perfect for showcasing everything from your favorite novels to curated keepsakes.
The powder room no longer features that typical pedestal sink—it now boasts a custom cabinet and vessel sink for style and function.
Throughout the home, you'll find custom lighting in every bathroom, plantation shutters on the main floor, stylish lever door handles, and ceiling fans in all the right places—even the front porch and four seasons room.
Even the crawl space is pristine. (Yes, you read that right.) It's fully sealed—because when we say this house has been thoughtfully improved from top to bottom, we mean it.
Outside, the enhancements continue with professionally installed landscaping, a river rock drainage system to prevent erosion, and a gorgeous front elevation that outshines the original builder-grade design.
And let's not forget the neighborhood. Briar Chapel isn't just one of the Triangle's best-selling communities—it's one of the most loved. With miles of nature trails, resort-style pools, fitness centers, tennis and pickleball courts, parks, playgrounds, coffee shops, and on-site schools, the lifestyle here is just as dialed-in as the home. Located minutes from downtown Chapel Hill and UNC, and with easy access to Pittsboro, RTP, and all things Triangle, this home puts you right in the heart of it all.
Builder basic? Not a chance. This one's got heart, soul, and a whole lot of style.
