    What's special

    Welcome to 139 Purefoy Road, a charming duplex just steps from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This property is potentially an exceptional opportunity for parents with a student attending UNC or for an investor seeking a conveniently located, flexible rental in Chapel Hill. The duplex offers two distinct living spaces: a spacious primary unit and a cozy basement apartment, each with ample parking and versatile rental options. The primary (upper) unit boasts three bedrooms, one bathroom, a large living room, a dining room, and a well-equipped kitchen. Each room is outfitted with ceiling fans to enhance comfort year-round, and large closets provide abundant storage space. This layout is ideal for students or families who want room to relax, study, and gather, with high ceilings and large windows bringing in natural light to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The rear porch, accessible from either the kitchen or the back bedroom, is perfect for unwinding outdoors and adds a wonderful touch of outside space and convenience. The upper unit also includes a private in-unit washer and dryer (off the kitchen), making laundry easy and efficient. The basement apartment (lower) unit features a comfortable one-bedroom, one-bathroom setup, complete with its own living room and kitchen, making it ideal for a student, young professional, or those sharing space. It has a private entrance, and its own washer and dryer conveniently located just outside, allowing for laundry access without compromising indoor space. With ample parking available in the front, side, and back, residents will have no trouble finding space for vehicles - a valuable convenience in a bustling college town. Additional amenities include an outside storage shed, under porch storage, and various other storage options within each unit - providing plenty of room for personal items and seasonal gear. Located in a prime area, this duplex is close to campus, UNC hospitals, local dining, and Chapel Hill's cultural attractions, making it the perfect base for those with busy schedules. The neighborhood is vibrant and welcoming, with a mix of students, professionals, and families. Given the consistently high rental demand in Chapel Hill, especially for properties near campus, this duplex presents a valuable investment opportunity for reliable rental income. With its flexible layout, unbeatable location, and impressive amenities, 139 Purefoy Road is a rare find. This duplex offers an ideal multi-family home away from home for students or an excellent addition to any real estate portfolio. Don't miss the chance to secure this versatile duplex, just a block from the UNC's medical campus.
