    Separate bedroomTwo-story red brick buildingInterior hallwayLots of lightBrick sidewalksStudy carrelGranite countertops

    The most desirable and charming location in Chapel Hill/Carrboro, and one of the most charming rentals available! This second-floor apartment is on the west side of a red brick building, built in 1926. There are only three remaining historic buildings near campus originally designed for 1-bedroom apartments, and this is one of them. The apartment has a separate bedroom (w/ 2 west-facing & 1 north-facing double-pane windows, & 2 closets, one of which is cedar lined), a large living room (w/ 3 south-facing windows), kitchen (w/ 2 west-facing windows), full bath (& a west-facing window), a study nook with west-facing window, and a long interior hallway suitable for a bookcase. Interior doors are original five-panel (with original glass door handles), and there is picture railing in both the living room and bedroom. The apartment gets lots of light, with its many windows facing south and west. The apartment has its original 1 " oak floors, a type considered relatively rare due both to the special nature of the milling done to the wood, as well as to the extra labor required to install such narrow flooring. Interior "gross living area" has been appraised at 792 square feet, but actual square footage is less. Both front and rear entrances are through two, separately locked, doors. The kitchen has a relatively new refrigerator, large sink, electric range, Bosch dishwasher, under-cabinet lighting, and granite countertops. The two west-facing kitchen windows provide pleasant light. A stacked washer-dryer is conveniently sited in a former closet in the hallway, near the bedroom. Entrances to this second-floor apartment are on the south side -- which has a small porch facing McCauley Street on the first level -- and the north side, adjacent to the on-site covered garage. There are only four apartments in the building, all rented to graduate students and professionals. Whether you're in Chapel Hill to study or work, or experience it as a retirement community, the 200 block of McCauley Street is undoubtedly the best location! It's in the heart of the Cameron-McCauley Historic District, at the highest elevation in town. Convenient brick sidewalks facilitate an easy 5-10 minute walk to UNC's Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Public Health, and Pharmacy. With an 8-12 minute walk one is on North Campus. Also with a short walk one can arrive at many of the other destinations that make this area so great. The Global Education Center is just a block away, and the Carolina Inn is across the street from it; Kenan Stadium and Memorial Hall are less than a 10-minute walk; and Playmakers, the Arboretum, and Battle Park just a bit further. Great local restaurants and bars are an easy 10- to 15-minute walk, as well as fine culinary spots such as Mediterranean Deli, Tom Robinson's Seafood, Cliff's Meat Market, and Weaver Street Market, where tasty provisions can be found. Whether it's getting to work/class on campus or in-town, or simply just going out and about in the heart of Chapel Hill, you've no traffic/parking hassles to worry about when living here! Location and charm -- does not get any better than this! Please note: the apartments are not rented to those needing to park large SUVs or other, similar large-sized vehicles, and parking of these in the driveway by both tenants and guests -- is prohibited. (Sorry! Usually there are parking spots on McCauley Street and Vance Street in the evening.) The apartment is being rented commencing July 1, 2026, at $1,550/month.
