Nestled beneath a canopy of trees on nearly an acre, this inviting Gail Crabtree craftsman feels like the kind of place you'll want to linger. The 2025 renovation transformed the main level with a serene new primary suite, a mudroom designed for real life (hooks, shelves, and space for everything), a tucked-away office for quiet focus, and a screened porch made for spring mornings and summer nights. With flexible spaces, the home functions like a four-bedroom property, giving you the option of an upstairs or main-level primary suite. The abundance of windows highlights the beautiful hardwood floors and the quality craftsmanship throughout the home. Recent updates--including a 2026 roof, fresh paint, new upstairs HVAC, and a new well pressure tank--mean you can move right in and enjoy. Highland Forest offers peaceful living just minutes from Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Pittsboro, giving you the best of both worlds: calm surroundings with everyday conveniences close by.
