250 The Preserve Trail
Chapel Hill, NC 27517Morning light rises through the trees as you enjoy coffee from the privacy of your elevated screened porch. Inside, a beautifully reimagined kitchen invites leisurely breakfasts and evenings of entertaining, while statement lighting, rich hardwoods, and custom finishes lend sophistication throughout. Welcome to 250 The Preserve Trail, where an extensive renovation meets the serenity of a wooded retreat in The Preserve at Jordan Lake. Substantial wooden double doors with textured privacy glass open to a marble-floored foyer. Beyond, gracious living spaces unfold with custom floor-to-ceiling built-ins, beautifully updated lighting, and a thoughtful connection between gathering rooms. The renovated kitchen pairs custom granite countertops and updated appliances with luxury stone-look porcelain flooring. An oversized walk-in pantry with a dedicated coffee bar keeps everyday essentials elegantly organized, while the adjoining breakfast area and den offer a relaxed setting for conversation. A separate dining room provides a refined backdrop for hosting. The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary, complete with a dressing room and two walk-in closets. Four additional bedrooms upstairs include a secondary suite with its own bath, while a top-floor office and flex space with a half bath provide a secluded setting for work or creative pursuits. The finished walk-out lower level adds another dimension to entertaining. Italian marble flooring, a custom bar with granite countertops, generous recreation and bonus spaces, and a full bath create an inviting destination for gatherings that extend onto the lower screened porch. Four outdoor living spaces offer distinct perspectives throughout the day. Two rear screened porches overlook the beautifully landscaped, private backyard, with the elevated porch placing you among the treetops. A gracious front porch and expansive second-level covered porch invite quiet evenings as the light settles across the front of the home. Garden spaces and mature greenery enhance the sense of retreat. Two garages accommodate five cars, including a climate-controlled two-car garage and a separate lower-level three-car garage, both finished with epoxy flooring. A substantial secondary driveway offers additional flexibility. Extensive renovations completed in 2023 are complemented by two new HVAC units and all-new ductwork installed in 2024, whole-home air purification, and a whole-home dehumidifier. Conveniently positioned near the neighborhood entrance, with the community pool and clubhouse a short golf-cart ride away, 250 The Preserve Trail offers a compelling combination of refined interiors, exceptional versatility, and private outdoor living.
