UPDATED PHOTOS! Nestled on 0.8 acres of forest with babbling Booker Creek running along the edge of the property, this spacious 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home offers the feeling of country living while still having many of the conveniences of being in the middle of the town. The home is surrounded by a canopy of trees, and the creek that the home overlooks. The sloped forest backyard affords privacy. From the deck running the length of the back of the house with a mid-tree view, one has the feeling of living in a treehouse. There are owls, foxes, and deer in the forest. We have a flock of egg-laying chickens (that can be re-homed with a neighbor if desired). It is on a cul-de-sac, closed to thru traffic. It is also walking distance to Eastwood Lake, Carolina North Forest trails, and the Bolin Creek trail. Our home is a 10-15 minute drive to UNC and a 20-minute drive from Duke. Several Chapel Hill transit free bus lines are a short walk away. The home is in the walk zone for Estes Hills Elementary and Phillips Middle public schools of the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools, which is the highest ranked school distinct in the state (Niche rankings). It is located just over 1 mile from the award-winning Chapel Hill Public Library and the Blue Hill shopping area, with quick access to Silverspot movie theater and grocery stores ranging from Trader Joe's to Aldi to Whole Foods to Wegman's. Inspired by the Pacific Northwest aesthetic, this shed-style house boasts a clean, minimalist design with a strong connection to nature.
