485 Legend Oaks Dr, Chapel Hill, NC 27517

A Legend Oaks Original -- And One of the Best. Some homes are maintained. This one has been cherished. Meticulously cared for by its original owners and custom built by Parker Orleans, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath beauty on nearly an acre in coveted Legend Oaks is a rare find in every sense of the word. Arrive to a full-length covered front porch made for rocking chairs and slow mornings. Step inside to a gracious entry foyer where real hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and walls of windows set the tone immediately. The flow here is exceptional, living and dining rooms that are tailored for entertaining, a tucked-away home office with French doors for privacy, and a family room that connects effortlessly to the heart of the home. The chef's kitchen is nothing short of spectacular. Granite countertops, a massive island with seating, double ovens, a 5-burner gas cooktop, stainless steel French door refrigerator, abundant cabinetry, and a dedicated pantry -- it's all here. Adjacent to the kitchen, the sun-drenched morning room is one of those spaces you'll never want to leave, whether you're lingering over breakfast or curled up by the fireplace on a crisp winter morning. The primary suite features a trey ceiling and not one but two spectacular walk-in closets loaded with custom built-ins. The recently renovated luxury bath is pure indulgence with new cabinetry, granite countertops, double vanities, and a frameless walk-in shower with a gorgeous tile surround. Three additional bedrooms, a loft with rear stairs to the family room below, and an incredible flex room with vaulted ceilings and picture windows overlooking the park-like backyard. Use it as a media room, home gym, second office, or playroom- the possibilities are genuinely limitless. Outdoor Living at Its Absolute Best! The screened porch with skylights and ceiling fan is a four-season sanctuary. It opens to a spacious deck perfect for sunning, stargazing, or simply doing nothing at all. The yard itself is the crown jewel- a lovingly designed secret garden featuring mature native plants and trees, raised garden beds ready for spring planting, and a level of privacy that feels like your own personal nature preserve. The extra-wide turnaround does double duty as a driveway and a basketball court. A dedicated laundry room and drop zone with utility sink and cabinetry. Updated LED lighting and ceiling fans throughout. Custom blinds and shutters. A side-entry, 3-car oversized garage with workshop space. Legend Oaks offers a Chapel Hill address with the bonus of low Chatham County taxes. You're 5 minutes from three grocery stores, restaurants, a pharmacy, hardware store, and medical offices -- human and animal alike -- and just 15 minutes from UNC, Chapel Hill, and multiple top-rated golf courses. The neighborhood itself is a dream for walkers, runners, and cyclists. This is the one. Come see it before someone else does.
