1 year lease is perfect for sabbaticals, executive relocations, and families exploring amazing Carrboro/ Chapel Hill before buying the perfect home.
This fully furnished 5-bedroom, 4-bath home is a modern take on luxury, mid-century modern, and comfort. You'll find plenty of space to sprawl in 3,000 sq ft including flex spaces on a 0.4-acre lot with a basketball court in the backyard! Walk to the highly coveted McDougle Elementary and Middle Schools, bikeable to downtown Carrboro, and just 5 miles to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Relax in an epic screened-in porch amongst the trees. Cook in an updated kitchen with a large center island, 2025 Bosch 800 appliances + brand new induction stove or grill on the deck with a 4-burner Weber gas grill. Downstairs features all hardwood floors, a comfy den with gas fireplace, a parlor for puzzles and fancy dinners, a flex "teen" room that could be an office or artist studio, and a bedroom with full bath, currently used as an office with a sit/stand desk and printer.
Upstairs, the kids wing of the house has 2 generous rooms with full beds and a shared bathroom. Another bedroom can have a queen bed or sit/stand desk with an ensuite full bath. Lastly the primary bedroom is an oasis with vaulted ceiling, backyard views, and a spa-like walk-in shower.
Outdoor you'll find a sunny front yard which includes a trampoline + fenced vegetable and flower gardens. Enjoy cut flowers all summer! The backyard features the basketball court with flood lights, paved seating area with Adirondack chairs, and a ninja line. We back up to a 10-acre wooded lot creating a peaceful, natural buffer.
We adore this home and neighborhood and are looking for a trustworthy couple or family who will love it for our sabbatical year. Live the good life in Carrboro!
