Chapel Hill, NC 27517Beautifully renovated and truly move-in ready, this exceptional Governors Village home offers something today's buyers rarely find—an extensive investment in high-quality renovations that have already been completed for you. Rather than purchasing a home and budgeting for a new roof, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, paint, or mechanical improvements, you can simply move in and enjoy the results of years of thoughtful updates and significant financial investment. Perfectly positioned on a quiet cul-de-sac just minutes from UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke University, RTP, DPAC, and downtown Pittsboro, this home blends timeless design with the convenience of low-maintenance living. Inside, natural light fills the thoughtfully designed floor plan, highlighted by a beautifully renovated kitchen with ceiling-height cabinetry, granite countertops, smart stainless steel appliances, and inviting spaces ideal for entertaining or everyday living. The main-level primary suite offers a spa-inspired retreat with a stunning zero-entry tiled shower and beautifully updated finishes. Designed for those who value their time as much as their home, the outdoor living spaces are intentional rather than oversized. A charming partially fenced courtyard provides the perfect setting for pets, container gardening, or morning coffee, while the screened porch offers a peaceful place to unwind. Instead of spending weekends maintaining a large backyard, you'll have more time to enjoy everything Chapel Hill and Governors Village have to offer. From the 2021 roof with transferable warranty to the remodeled kitchen, luxurious primary bath, site-finished hardwood floors, tankless water heater, encapsulated crawlspace, remodeled fireplace, fresh interior and exterior paint, updated carpeting, and smart home features, the work has already been done. These aren't cosmetic touch-ups—they represent a substantial investment in quality, comfort, and peace of mind that allows the next owner to move in with confidence. Residents of Governors Village enjoy resort-style amenities including a community pool, tennis courts, parks, walking trails, restaurants, shopping, and one of the Triangle's most convenient locations.
