1653 Briar Chapel Parkway, Chapel Hill, NC 27516

Combine one of the most ideal hop + skip = pool and clubhouse settings in Briar Chapel with a layout, aesthetic, and flow that speaks to both heart and mind for a true standout place to call home. Casual two-minute stroll porch to pool, anyone? From the lovely appeal at the curb that entices a second look to the vibrant secret garden out back, there's no shortage of pleasant surprises outside.

Relaxing in the Chatham County breeze has never been so easy from one of the (3) porches that all beg to linger a [long] while. Whether its rocking book-in-hand on the sprawling front porch admiring the cool railing, memorable dinner conversations from the charming elevated screened porch overlooking the fenced backyard, or kicking up feet on the airy walk-out basement screened porch - there's no shortage of lovely spaces to take in fresh air.

Get ready for the "wow" response which never gets old as new guests are greeted by the warm living space anchored by the kitchen which lacks only a willing chef. With an equal measure of loads of counter space and design appeal, count on life-giving memories made around the island while crafting meals and friendships.

Revel in the vibe of the rest of the downstairs space that's open just enough for entertaining yet with delineation between rooms that provides function. Cozy up on the couch in front of the fireplace admiring the craftsmanship of the built-ins flanking the fireplace, and share stories over food in the delightful dining room.

Espresso machine nook that could double as a place to knock out some work? Yes, check that box too. All the best when choosing what to do with the generously-sized main level room - playroom, art studio, double office, theatre, work-out area, or even a 5th bedroom - there's no shortage of solid ideas for this bright, window-rich space.

For any overflow "I wish there was a room for ________" wishes, the fabulous lux lower level has that covered along with a bedroom + private full bath. A place to put things? So glad to be asked...the walk-in storage room is gladly waiting to cover any tidying up between hobbies and holidays. All this AND a spacious main suite with yet more artistic design appeal to retire into after another joyful day lived at the 1653? Yes, that's correct.
