    What's special

    Cozy wood-burning fireplacesFenced vegetable plotSurrounded by mature treesColorful flower bedsRoomy laundry areaLarge back deckCamellia and azalea gardens
    Welcome to 20 Timberlyne Road — a gardener's dream tucked into one of Chapel Hill's most beloved neighborhoods. Set on nearly half an acre, this lovingly maintained home is where privacy, beauty, and everyday ease come together. Surrounded by mature trees and thoughtfully designed gardens, the backyard is a true oasis — complete with a fenced vegetable plot, colorful flower beds, and an orchard featuring apple, plum, cherry, pear, fig, pecan trees, and muscadine grapes. You'll also find camellia and azalea gardens, and even a peaceful meadow with native grasses and wildflowers. Step inside to find freshly refinished hardwood floors, two cozy wood-burning fireplaces (one in the spacious primary suite!), and sunny windows throughout — including a charming bay window in the living room and garden views from the cheerful breakfast nook. The kitchen blends function and warmth with butcher block counters, stainless steel appliances, and a sunny, garden-facing breakfast nook. Formal dining room and cozy living room with built-in bookshelves. Three bedrooms upstairs - including an over-sized primary suite with walk-in closet. Need space to relax? Stretch out on the covered front and side porches or host friends on the large back deck. And for your practical side, there's a roomy laundry area, low-maintenance aluminum siding with gutter guards, and a detached 2-car garage with storage, a workbench, and an insulated attic warmed by a wood stove. The location is as good as it gets — just two blocks from local favorites like the Chelsea Theater, Joe Van Gogh Coffee, Orange Theory Fitness, restaurants, groceries, hardware store, post office and more. You're also within a mile or two of some of the area's best hiking at Cedar Falls Park and Duke Forest. All of this, in a quiet, walkable neighborhood served by top-rated Chapel Hill schools. Peaceful, practical, and full of personality — this one's a true gem.
