113 Rhododendron Drive
Chapel Hill, NC 27517Designed by renowned Chapel Hill architect Jim Webb, this striking Modernist home is a serene retreat nestled among the trees and rolling hills of Chapel Hill. Expansive walls of glass and a soaring vaulted ceiling create an effortless connection to nature. Skylights bounce light around the space, while treed views create a sanctuary of serenity and calm. Original design details abound: A slate floor entry, lovely hardwoods, custom cabinetry, rich wood paneling, a dumbwaiter, solid core doors and a cozy wood-burning fireplace—reflecting the timeless craftsmanship of Webb's vision. A shoji screen leads to the bright sunroom at the rear of the house, perfect for reading or bird watching. A large sparkling indoor pool with adjacent shower/changing room is absolutely perfect for entertaining! The artist studio, dark room, and (newly rebuilt) hydroponic greenhouse inspires creativity. Outside, a lovely Japanese Maple greets at the entry, and 2 decks overlook garden beds full of azalea, rhododendron, magnolia, hellebore, ferns and gardenia. A short stroll down the street leads to Parker Preserve + Mason Farm Trails. This incredible location, no more than 10 minutes to UNC, NC Botanical Gardens, Carrboro, Merritt's Grill, Jordan Lake, etc, is a rare opportunity to own an iconic piece of Chapel Hill's Modernist heritage.
