    What's special

    Clean linesEfficient layoutsOpen floor planInviting space
    A rare 50's modernist gem in one of Chapel Hill's most cherished neighborhoods, Highland Woods. Picture perfect from tip to tail, this Highland Woods modernist rancher is typical of what makes this tight knit historic enclave so special. Designed by renowned mid-century architect, Jim Webb, known for his clean lines, efficient layouts and an uncanny ability to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. The open floor plan of the kitchen and the common areas offer such an inviting space to spend time with friends and loved ones, while the classic ranch layout keeps all the bedrooms tucked away. The sunroom is awash in light and overlooks lush dogwoods and azaleas, offering a peaceful connection with the nature that surrounds. With numerous thoughtful updates and no deferred maintenance, this home has been lovingly cared for and is absolutely move-in-ready. Just a short walk from UNC's campus, Kenan Memorial Stadium, and the Dean Smith Center, you're perfectly positioned to enjoy Tar Heel athletics. You'll also be steps from the North Carolina Botanical Garden, Finley Golf Course, Glenwood Elementary, and a network of scenic trails leading to nearby shopping and dining. This is more than a home—it's a piece of Chapel Hill history, ready for its next chapter. Welcome home to Highland Woods
