COMING SOON * Showings start 9/10/2025*This mid century modern gem in the coveted Greenwood neighborhood-conveniently situated near the UNC campus and everything Chapel Hill has to offer-features an open floor plan with beautiful updates, a gorgeous landscape, and a fascinating history. In 1933 Pulitzer prize winner, Paul Green, purchased 200+acres adjacent to UNC campus ''in the country.'' He used his earnings from screenwriting in Hollywood to purchase the land at about $25 an acre, Thus began the idea of Greenwood neighborhood, which Paul began developing in the 1950s. When the current owners purchased this special house in 2000, they engaged modernist architect, Dail Dixon, to help them with a renovation which was the first of many updates to follow. Some of the special features of this house include a light filled open plan where one room flows into the next; a cook's kitchen with cherry cabinets and granite countertops that opens to the breakfast room, the sunroom and an expansive butler's pantry; and a large laundry room with custom cabinetry including a leathered granite counter and an extra fridge. Three wide steps down from the breakfast room is the long sunroom with cork flooring and a wall of Anderson casement windows. Three French doors (two fixed and one operable) along one wall in the primary bedroom provide a view of and access to the private enclosed zen garden. The primary suite includes a windowed walk in closet and a recently renovated spa-like bathroom featuring a mid-century vanity with quartz countertops. The zero entry tiled shower features the same quartz on the shower bench and niche. A freestanding soaking tub and Toto toilet with Washlet complete this lovely bathroom. Hardwood oak flooring throughout the house with ceramic tile in the three baths, cork flooring in the sunroom and LVP in the newly renovated laundry room. Pull down stairs located in the gallery hallway offer access to a huge floored attic (600 plus sq ft) wonderful for all kinds of storage. The lovely landscaping features mature hardwoods, a dining room courtyard, backyard patio, meandering stone river paths and lovely shrubs and perennials with a focus on native plants. Notes: A 345 sq ft studio/workshop is accessed from the sunroom. This room is heated and cooled by a wall unit and is not included in the total square footage reported. Docs available upon request: a detailed list of upgrades since 2000, a list of special features by room, landscaping details, inspection report and repairs and birdwatching opportunities at Old Mill Rd.
