One-year furnished home ideal for academic sabbaticals, visiting faculty, executive relocations, or families spending a year in Chapel Hill/Carrboro. Our home is thoughtfully set up for comfortable daily living, remote work, and family life. This 5-bedroom, 4-bath home (approx. 3,000 sq ft) sits on a quiet 0.4-acre lot in a wonderful Carrboro neighborhood. We are walk-zone to McDougle Elementary and Middle Schools, bikeable to downtown Carrboro, and just 5 miles from UNC Chapel Hill. The main level includes hardwood floors, a cozy den with gas fireplace, a separate parlor suitable for dining or quiet activities, and multiple flexible spaces. One main-level bedroom with full bath is currently configured as a fully equipped home office with sit/stand desk and printer. The kitchen features a large center island, new Bosch appliances, an induction range, and access to the deck with a Weber gas grill. A screened porch overlooking the trees is a favorite space for morning coffee and evening meals. Upstairs includes two bedrooms with a shared bath, a private ensuite bedroom currently set up as a second office (or can be converted to a queen bedroom), and a primary suite with vaulted ceiling, backyard views, and a large walk-in shower. Outdoor space is a highlight for families. The sunny front yard includes garden beds and a trampoline. The backyard has a basketball court with lighting, seating area, and ninja line. The home backs to a 10-acre wooded property, creating exceptional privacy and a peaceful setting.
