For Lease | 1 Bed / 1 Bath | 719 SF | A-Frame
** Property Summary **
A rare opportunity to lease a one-of-a-kind A-frame retreat in one of Chapel Hill's most sought-after neighborhoods. Full of character, this 719 SF home delivers soaring vaulted ceilings, an open floor plan, and an eat-in kitchen all wrapped in a private, wooded setting that feels miles away from the city while being minutes from everything. A rear deck and screened porch extend the living space outdoors, giving this rental a feel you simply can't find in a conventional apartment.
** Location & Access **
Positioned steps from the UNC campus corridor and less than a mile from UNC Medical Center an ideal home base for hospital staff, residents, fellows, and graduate students. Chapel Hill Transit's fare-free bus service stops at South Columbia Street/Purefoy Road with multiple routes (C, B, D, G and more) connecting directly to UNC Hospitals and campus no car required.
Franklin Street Chapel Hill's cultural and social spine is just minutes away, with local staples like Top of the Hill, Carolina Coffee Shop, Al's Burger Shack, and Mediterranean Deli. Weaver Street Market, UNC Student Stores, and 20+ restaurants and cafes round out the neighborhood's daily conveniences. Carrboro is equally close, adding even more dining and nightlife options.
** Outdoor & Recreation **
The location punches well above its size for outdoor access. Merritt's Pasture a serene 32-acre park with a one-mile loop trail, tranquil ponds, open meadows, and wooded paths is right around the corner, and connects directly to the Morgan Creek Greenway and Fan Branch Trail for extended biking and hiking. The Bolin Creek Trail (paved, accessible) and Battle Branch Trail (connects directly to UNC's campus) are both nearby, making this a genuinely bikeable address with a Bike Score of 57.
