A rare opportunity to own a true piece of architectural history in Coker Hills, in the heart of Chapel Hill. Known as the David Hill House, this striking residence was designed by renowned architect Arthur Cogswell, celebrated for his modernist designs that prioritize simplicity, functionality, and a deep connection to the natural environment. Engineer David Hill worked hand in hand with Cogswell to bring this vision to life. From the moment you arrive, the home makes an impression. Inside, you're welcomed into a space defined by soaring ceilings, custom wood built-ins, and a seamless open-concept floor plan. At the heart of the home, a stunning wall of sliding glass doors spans the back, filling the interior with amazing natural light and offering uninterrupted views of the peaceful, tree-lined surroundings. A particularly enchanting feature awaits at the rear of the property: a globe-light-lined path, accessed from an adjacent street, that leads to the back of the home—adding a unique sense of ambiance and architectural charm. Freshly painted interior, refinished parquet floors, & new luxury vinyl flooring in 2 bedrooms compliment the home's original character. Serene primary bedroom with a private courtyard and multiple glass-enclosed living spaces that invite relaxation, creativity, and connection with nature. Set on a .83-acre lot, the property feels like a private retreat, yet it's just minutes to Franklin Street, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Starbucks, UNC, and offers quick access to I-40. East CH high school district. Architectural homes like this don't come along often—don't miss your chance to own a Cogswell original in one of Chapel Hill's most beloved neighborhoods.
