Just imagine owning a home celebrated for its American architectural design. 808 Christopher Road is a rare marvel nestled in Chapel Hill's highly coveted Greenwood neighborhood. Experience this stunning property, nearly 3,000 square feet with 6 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and an expansive 1.12 acres of pure possibility. The Greenwood neighborhood is one of the most established enclaves in the heart of Chapel Hill, just a mile from UNC-Chapel Hill's campus. It was founded by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paul Green in the 1930s. Green's visionary design wove 200 acres of natural woodland and majestic tall hardwoods into generous lots, each lot uniquely positioned to embrace nature's beauty with park-like serenity. Today, this legacy neighborhood continues to have deep roots that attract academics, professionals, urbanites, and naturalists alike... Location, location, and luxury. Step inside and feel the difference. This is where luxury meets livability in a brilliantly designed floor plan that flows effortlessly from relaxed moments to elegant entertaining. The sun-drenched main floor welcomes you with 2-3 bedrooms, including a serene primary suite with an ensuite bath, plus an additional full bathroom for the other bedrooms. A versatile flex space invites your imagination from home office, formal dining room, yoga sanctuary, or artist's studio; the choice is yours. Natural light floods the grand family room and gourmet kitchen, where integrated dining overlooks your expansive front yard. Upstairs, discover three generous bonus rooms, each with a closet, that are ready to become whatever your life demands: private bedrooms, a fitness haven, a creative workspace, or a quiet retreat. Every bathroom features spa-like finishes that will transform daily routines into moments of luxury. The smooth integration of indoor and outdoor spaces makes it easy to meander from a drink on the front porch to the central fire pit in the expansive yard or to the grill before congregating on the back porch for supper. This sunny, wooded, and nature-filled 1.12 acres treats you with a welcoming fire pit, water feature, nighttime lighting, and the space to create your dream outdoor oasis. From your long, private driveway, you can stroll across the pedestrian crosswalk to restaurants, coffee shops, and food markets. Enjoy easy access to the bus line, or walk to UNC campus, UNC Hospitals, and downtown Chapel Hill.
