402 Westwood Dr, Chapel Hill, NC 27516

Featured in Chapel Hill magazine, this lovely Westwood home is tucked away on almost an acre in one of Chapel Hill's most desirable neighborhoods. This hidden gem is a peaceful retreat, with carefully curated gardens highlighted in the 2024 Chapel Hill Garden Tour. The original 1958 ranch house was taken down and replaced with a modern-craftsman style, two story house in 2004. Its striking facade with a pergola covered porch coupled with its large, bright, flexible living spaces creates a comfortable, casual aesthetic that is quintessentially Chapel Hill. Upon entry, the two-story foyer features floor to ceiling windows and three George Nelson pendants suspended overhead. Just past the foyer, the thoughtfully designed kitchen features custom cabinets with concrete countertops, Wolf and Subzero appliances and a built-in workstation. The kitchen and adjoining living spaces were clearly designed with community in mind. Whether it's a casual dinner with your loved ones or entertaining a group of twenty, this house was made to be loved and lived-in! The kitchen opens to a wonderful family room and adjacent dining area. The family room opens to a pergola covered deck and gorgeous screened porch. These outdoor spaces are ideal for relaxing with a morning cup of coffee, an evening cocktail or simply to take in the stunning grounds below; an ever-changing landscape filled with evergreens, flowering trees and shrubs, meandering paths and a koi pond. Back inside, the main floor offers a lovely home office framed by two walls of windows and a separate door to the deck. The primary suite, with its luxurious bathroom, large sitting area and walk-in closet are located on the opposite end of the home, offering a peaceful and private place to unwind. Upstairs, the flexible floor plan accommodates an array of lifestyle needs by offering a second spacious primary suite with a fabulous spa-like bathroom and large walk-in closet. Just across the hall is a second home office/bedroom. Down the hall are a laundry room and two additional bedrooms with a shared bathroom. When ready to put the work or school day behind you, wander down to the sun-drenched lower level. Framed by walls of windows and doors that lead to three cascading decks to access the glorious backyard, the lower level features: a temperature-controlled wine cellar, a dedicated fitness room, a guest room with full bathroom, a recreation room with bar/kitchenette, a pool/ping pong table, a large gathering space to play cards, craft or puzzle build, a lounge area to hang-out with friends or curl up with a good book as well as a cozy theater room with surround sound, perfect for movie nights and binge watching!
