107 Silo Drive
Chapel Hill, NC 27514Experience a harmonious blend of elegance, tranquility, and artful whimsy with this custom-built, brick six-bedroom multi-generational home, at once traditional and utterly singular, set in the heart of Chapel Hill. It comes with a unique, private backyard garden retreat, unlike anything in the area, that showcases winding hardscape pathways, built-in stone benches and tables, beautiful grottos, a pergola, a calming waterfall and pond, and intriguing mythical sculptures, including, incredibly, a stone dragon able to breathe real fire (all easily controlled via a smartphone app.) Stepping into the grand two-story foyer, you'll be greeted by a sophisticated curved staircase. The first floor features newly refinished maple hardwood floors and detailed crown molding. The living room connects seamlessly to the all-seasons room, where a cozy corner stone fireplace awaits. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and a gas cooktop, with a breakfast nook that offers picturesque views of the garden. The main-level laundry room, conveniently located near the kitchen and garage access, is both spacious and practical. The first floor also includes a refined office with custom built-ins and a generous primary suite with an ensuite bath, a dedicated exercise room, and a private deck. Upstairs, a second primary bedroom awaits, with an ensuite bathroom, as well as three additional bedrooms and an expansive, private in-law suite with separate access (offering an opportunity to rent it out). Enjoy plush new carpeting, ample storage with built-in closets, two walk-in attics, and a second all-seasons balcony room. Additional features include a convenient elevator, a three-car garage, a robust high-end metal roof, and a whole-house generator for reliability. Stepping into the backyard reveals another, magical world. The meticulously designed garden, with wide hardscape paths and established perennial plants and trees, was meticulously designed, over the course of two decades, for entertaining and gatherings of all ages, making this a perfect forever home where unique beauty and comfort merge seamlessly. Don't miss your chance to own a sanctuary that will continue to surprise and delight you and your visitors for years to come.
