606 Churchill Drive
Chapel Hill, NC 27517For decades, neighbors stopped by this beloved home for a sweet treat from the mailbox marked ''Take one, love ya.'' Owned since the 1960s, the property became a quiet neighborhood landmark thanks to the kindness of its longtime owner, who enjoyed sharing small moments of generosity with the tight knit community. Over the years the home was thoughtfully expanded to include a spacious primary suite with an enormous walk-in closet, along with the addition of a sunroom and an impressive two-car carport with pull-down attic storage, creating a flexible layout while preserving the charm of the original brick ranch. Set on a beautiful .41-acre lot, the home offers 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, a living room and family room with a wood-burning fireplace, a dining room, eat-in kitchen, an office with built ins, large laundry room, and a bright sunroom overlooking the backyard. Outside, enjoy a brick patio perfect for entertaining, a gazebo, and a private, tree-filled backyard often visited by deer. The property includes a tool shed, large outdoor storage closets and workshop space attached to the main house, and a separate storage shed with electricity, with power also running to the gazebo. Located in the Briarcliff neighborhood, known for its strong sense of community, tree-lined streets, and convenient access to nearby schools, the home is just minutes from everything Chapel Hill has to offer. This property presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to bring fresh vision to a home that has been part of the neighborhood for decades -- and perhaps continue the tradition of the candy mailbox that reads, ''Take one, love ya.''
