About This Property

FOR COMPS ONLY

Set along a quiet, tree-lined street in one of Chapel Hill's most beloved historic neighborhoods, this extraordinary residence blends timeless elegance with thoughtful, modern design. Originally constructed in 1922 and completely reimagined through a whole-house renovation and expansion in 2021, the home is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and vision. Designed and renovated by Phil Szostak-one of Chapel Hill's most respected architects and builders-every inch of the property reflects an impeccable attention to detail and a deep respect for the home's storied past. From the moment you arrive, the home's presence is unmistakable. A stately front porch and grand entry foyer offer a gracious welcome, setting the stage for the exceptional interiors beyond. Inside, a wide and inviting foyer opens to beautifully proportioned spaces designed for both comfortable living and refined entertaining. To the left, a light-filled living room centers around a striking double-sided fireplace, while a serene home office wrapped in glass captures treetop and courtyard views and natural light. On the right, a striking gallery hallway leads to a formal dining room where exquisite hand-painted wallpaper and a built-in burlwood sideboard elevate the space with character and charm.At the back of the home, the heart of daily life unfolds in a stunning chef's kitchen, complete with a separate scullery for seamless entertaining and storage. The rich, herringbone-patterned hardwood floors give the kitchen a timeless, inviting charm. Adjacent to the kitchen, a cozy keeping room with a gas fireplace and an inviting breakfast area create a natural gathering place. French doors lead outside to a covered porch, patio, and yet another fireplace-an ideal spot for quiet mornings or festive summer evenings. The saltwater pool offers a refreshing escape and a beautiful focal point for outdoor entertaining.

Privately positioned in its own wing, the primary suite is nothing short of extraordinary. Reminiscent of a five-star retreat, the suite overlooks the pool and terrace, offering a tranquil escape at the end of the day. A fourth fireplace adds warmth and ambiance, while two separate bathrooms and walk-in closets provide luxurious functionality. His bath features rich wood cabinetry and a steam shower with rain head, while her bath is a study in elegance, with a freestanding soaking tub, beautiful dressing area, and an impeccably designed walk-in closet. The original staircase leads upstairs to four large secondary bedrooms, each with en-suite baths and walk-in closets. One bedroom, located on the east side of the home, could easily function as a second primary suite and includes a charming sleeping porch that adds a touch of historic romance. A second laundry room upstairs adds convenience for busy households. In the newer wing of the home, you'll find a true bonus: a spacious recreation room currently outfitted as a ''man cave,'' complete with a state-of-the-art golf simulator. Nearby, a second executive-style home office and full bath provide additional flexibility for work or guests. This area opens onto a large rooftop terrace, offering yet another space for entertaining or quiet relaxation under the stars.

The home is as efficient as it is beautiful. From the custom windows to the zinc standing-seam metal roof, every element was designed with sustainability and long-term comfort in mind. With six high-efficiency heat pumps and two tankless water heaters-all installed in 2021-you'll enjoy year-round comfort and peace of mind. Parking includes a two-car garage complete with EV charging station, a paver-lined driveway, and an additional parking pad near the front entrance. Just a short walk or drive to the shops , cafes, and culture of Franklin Street, this home offers the rare opportunity to live in the heart of Chapel Hill, with world-class medical care and one of the country's top universities just minutes away.

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!
