About 140 W Franklin Street Unit 703
Welcome to #703 — one of the most spectacular penthouse condominiums in downtown Chapel Hill. Enjoy panoramic views and front-row seats to the July 4th fireworks from your private terrace. Spanning the 7th and 8th floors, this rare corner residence offers sweeping vistas of Franklin Street, downtown Chapel Hill, and the rolling countryside beyond — opportunities to own a home like this are few and far between. Inside, you'll find three bedrooms, including two primary suites—each with its own ensuite bath, allowing you to choose your preferred retreat. The third bedroom is currently outfitted as an entertainment center, and all closets have been custom built for organized storage. The open concept living area features a cozy gas fireplace, elevator access, and two outdoor balconies. In cooler months, simply flip a switch to warm the space with the gas logs. Upstairs, a large, covered terrace with an outdoor fireplace and TV cabinet creates the perfect setting for al fresco dining, a late-night movie, or catching the big game. Tech lovers will appreciate the whole-house smart system, updated just two years ago, which controls lighting, window shades, HVAC, and TVs—all from an easy-to-use phone app. The efficient kitchen is equipped with premium stainless-steel appliances, including a six-burner Wolf gas range, LG refrigerator with craft ice, and a wine cooler. A terrace off the dining area is plumbed with a natural gas line, ideal for outdoor grilling. Building amenities include 24/7 concierge services, fitness center, secured parking, and advanced camera surveillance. What truly sets 140 West Franklin apart? Location, location, location!
