635 Kensington Drive
Chapel Hill, NC 27514You can't help but be keen on Kensington's warm, modernist spirit surrounded by woodlands in coveted Coker Hills. Everywhere you look nature beckons. With a soaring beamed ceiling, clerestory windows, and floor-to-ceiling glass, the great room captures beguiling views and is filled with light. A muted palette; clean lines; espresso hardwoods; wood cabinetry; focal fireplace; and more enhance ultra livable spaces. No matter how busy life gets, the vibe nurtures calm. Open to the kitchen, the light-drenched family room with built-in desks and shelving has an easygoing atmosphere made for gatherings and flows onto the patio. Keep it clean in retro tile bathrooms. Freshly painted interior + exterior and newly refinished main level wood flooring. Hardwoods await under the carpet on the staircase from the foyer, upstairs landing, and secondary bedrooms. Enjoy the breathing room as you stretch out beneath long leaf pines, old-growth trees, and starlit skies on the roomy deck and paver patio. Walkable to Estes Hills Elementary and Phillips Middle School, this lush green aerie is mere minutes to the flourishing food scene, culture, shops, natural beauty, and charms of Chapel Hill. Soak up the good karma on Kensington.
