TIMELESS ELEGANCE meets MODERN LUXURY in this extraordinary property, 330 Tenney Circle, located in the heart of Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Originally constructed in1922, this home was one of the first on Tenney Circle, which is an idyllic street that was part of the original town when it its boundaries were drawn in 1859. Solidly built in 1922, with charming features such as sleeping porches, hardwood floors and exquisite hardware, the current owners completed an exquisite renovation in 2021. The owners, and the modern architect with whom they consulted, managed to find the perfect balance: combining the gracious charm of the original home with a bit of modern glam. The result is a property that is currently unparalleled among the historic neighborhoods of Chapel Hill. With a focus on function, form, and ease of living, the owners created a first-floor primary suite that is a true oasis from the pace of a busy life. This primary suite, which feels as though it was taken directly from a 5-star hotel, includes: a fireplace; sitting area; direct access to the pool and hot tub; a gorgeous gallery connecting the primary bedroom to the two baths: a handsome one for him, complete with a steam shower and walk-in closet that is perfectly designed; and a gorgeous bathroom suite for her that looks as though it was taken directly from the pages of Vogue. With a fabulous floor plan, the glorious main entrance of this home sets the stage for the treat that lies ahead: which is an elegant property with classic lines and timeless design, all with a bit of modern style. From the stunning foyer, there is direct access to: a lovely living room; a powder room; a stylish home office (complete with direct access to a fenced courtyard, where family pets can run and play, but not roam too far); an extraordinary great room that includes, the kitchen, family room, scullery, casual dining area, and wet bar; and a delightful dining room, where so many fun dinner parties have already been enjoyed, underneath the glow of a fabulous light fixture that reflects off the hand-painted wallpaper. There also is an original staircase in the front foyer that leads to four gracious guest bedrooms on the second floor of this wing of the house. Each of these bedrooms has a walk-in closet and a bathroom en suite; and one of the bedrooms could easily serve as a second primary suite. Also on this floor, is a second laundry room and separate linen closet. Coming back downstairs, taking a quick walk to the other wing of the house, you will find the back gallery and vestibule, which connects to the first-floor primary suite; main laundry room; second powder room; the mail/storage/key room; the garage; and one of the most beautiful, covered porches in all of Chapel Hill. This stunning porch, which can be accessed from one of five sets of French doors, is grand enough for entertaining any number of guests, but it is also cozy enough for enjoying a fun night of board games after supper on warm spring evening. The back staircase in this wing of the house leads to the executive home office, which could serve as a sixth bedroom, since the owners included a full bath on this floor. Also, there is a fabulous game room with a golf simulator, and a private terrace that overlooks the pool. As with all the extraordinary outdoor living spaces on this 0.85-acre property, the flow of this home was made for entertaining. Every detail was carefully considered by the owners, making it a property that has the perfect layout (inside and out). The owners also brilliantly thought to create a full exterior bathroom, tucked around the corner behind the hot tub. No stone was left unturned with this renovation. The owners created an estate home that stand the test of time, nestled perfectly, with plenty of privacy, on one of the prettiest streets in town. A priceless gem, located to a short walk from the Carolina campus, this home is a little slice of Heaven on Earth!
