Chapel Hill, NC 27517Privately nestled among mature trees in a sought-after neighborhood, this distinctive midcentury modern residence offers over 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space across three levels. Walls of glass and expansive decks create a seamless connection to the natural surroundings, bringing woodland views into nearly every principal room. The main level features dramatic living and dining spaces anchored by a fireplace and framed by floor-to-ceiling views of the wooded landscape. Original fixtures and lighting true to the midcentury aesthetic complement the home's timeless architectural character. A main-level primary suite with a full bath and jacuzzi offers flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. In keeping with the design concept, imported kitchen and bath cabinets and fixtures are standout elements. Upstairs, the expansive primary retreat includes a private adjoining office or reading room, a spa-inspired bath with a full-bed sauna, and access to a private deck overlooking the trees. Across the landing, two additional bedrooms connect with a ''Jack and Jill'' bath. Decks extend from all primary living spaces and bedrooms, creating exceptional indoor-outdoor flow throughout the home. The walk-out lower level offers a large additional bedroom and full bath, an expansive living area with a fireplace, a dedicated laundry room, and generous storage space ideal for a future wine cellar. Sliding doors open to a beautifully designed paver patio spanning the full length of the home, enhanced by graceful curves and a surrounding brick wall that creates a private garden-like setting. Set on a beautifully wooded 0.84-acre homesite with a two-car garage and moments from UNC, downtown Chapel Hill, and Carrboro, 1429 Arboretum Drive presents a rare opportunity to own an authentic midcentury home with remarkable scale, privacy, and architectural integrity.
