Set high on a beautifully landscaped cul-de-sac lot in the heart of Chapel Hill, 221 Chesley Lane is a stunning estate featuring hardwood floors, soaring ceilings and a double-height foyer. The main level offers a flowing open plan layout with a formal living room and fireplace, a kitchen with new double oven and granite countertops, leading to a second family room. The flexible layout also offers ''twin offices'' or a guest bedroom with it's own full bath. The second floor boasts an expansive primary suite featuring a spa-style bath and separate walk-in closet. Three more spacious bedrooms, one with an en-suite full bath, cedar closet and WIC, ample storage and another full bath round out this level. Third-floor skylights illuminate a huge bonus room, ideal for play, film, fitness or hobbies. Outside, a spacious flagstone patio and a screened cedar-ceiling gazebo create an outdoor living experience that truly sets this home apart. The fully fenced, private garden is low-maintenance and deer-protected. This family home is minutes from Cedar Falls Park and top-rated schools. (White dbl wall ovens just replaced with stainless steel and updated kitchen photos will be uploaded by 4/09)
