300 McCauley St, Chapel Hill, NC 27516

Amidst a century-old, leafy enclave the Lillian Long House, circa 1932, is as light, airy, and inviting as Chapel Hill itself. Smartly rejuvenated, the unmissable storybook quality begins at the stonewall, meandering walkway, lush landscape, and classic saltbox architecture with a new roof, true-divided pane windows, wood siding, and hinged-shutters. Craft and materiality establish the home's soulful spirit. The winsome ambiance is enhanced by hardwood flooring through the main and second levels; bespoke millwork including picture molding and paneled wainscoting; solid-wood paneled and French doors; brass and cut-glass door hardware; updated lighting providing stylish and fresh illumination; and antique hearth tiling surrounding the gas fireplace. A main-level flex room with French doors is an idyllic reading nook or home office. Old meets new in the delicious kitchen reno'd with tile flooring; center island; granite countertops; luxe tile splash; custom white cabinetry including glass door accent cabinets and cookbook shelving; built-in window seat; pot-filler; prep-sink; and professional stainless steel appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, DCS gas cooktop, vented hood, KitchenAid dishwasher, Dacor double ovens, and Lanbo beverage chiller. Rise and shine in cozy bedrooms filled with natural light, built-in shelving, and charming angled ceilings. Refreshed bathrooms keep the mood clean and sunny with tile flooring, pedestal sinks, bead-board, and old-school fixtures. The second-level study or craft room with built-in desks, drawers, shelving, and cabinetry is an organizers dream plus a bright, cheerful space that sparks inspiration and gets the job done. Loads of style laundry + mudroom. The screened porch flows into the private fenced garden with terraced brick patios; raised, cedar planter boxes; and water feature. Feel rooted in history on the side yard flagstone patio sited under old-growth trees. At one with the landscape is a convenient brick-lined gravel parking area off the shared driveway. Situated on a corner, this Cameron-McCauley historical gem is one block to UNC's campus and two blocks to Franklin Street. Immerse yourself in the heart of this quintessential college town humming with art, culture and an internationally known culinary scene. Life is magnificent on McCauley - the street named after the family that donated the land to help found UNC. Major in history and find yourself most at home on McCauley.
