100 Collinson Drive
Chapel Hill, NC 27514Two miles to Downtown Chapel Hill and UNC discover calm + collected Collinson. Follow the peaceful, leafy drive to this coveted Forest Creek cul-de-sac. Situated on over an acre, this cedar-and-brick clad sanctuary's hallmark is the surrounding tree-mendous views of Town of Chapel Hill preserved forest. Strategically placed and abundant plate-glass windows allow the sublime landscape to penetrate the rooms - blurring the line between where the living space ends and the tranquil, yet ever-changing view begins. Rooms are suffused with dappled sunlight. The vibe is clean lines, natural wood, a neutral palette, plenty of breathing room, and eminently comfortable open spaces. Flexible and spacious rooms accommodate work and play. With a second kitchen, the daylight lower level suite, with two sets of sliding glass doors, could function as a separate apartment. Find solace in the newer roof, replacement windows, refinished hardwoods, freshly painted interior, as well as new lower level carpet and main kitchen stainless steel appliances. A getaway for the soul, the primary suite hosts a dreamy screened sleeping porch. The Sellers have found inspiration in the arms of the trees for the past 33 years. It is ready for the next generation of fresh energy. On the side and rear, the decks are stacked for outdoor lounging and communing with nature. Amidst the shade of nature's artwork painted with leaves, wander the path down the hill to the banks of burbling of Booker Creek. This setting is a reminder that even in our 24-hour connected world, serenity is still possible and serendipity is powerful. Minutes to everything yet a soulful retreat, don't miss the chance to live your everyday in the grown-up version of the tree house of your childhood dreams.
