About 506 Bayberry Drive
This special property offers a rare combination of privacy, land, and proximity to everything Chapel Hill has to offer. Set on a deep lot of nearly an acre, the home sits gracefully on a knoll, creating an elevated presence and a sense of seclusion while still being less than 10 minutes from UNC's campus, the hospital, and downtown Chapel Hill and Carrboro. With walkable access to the North Carolina Botanical Garden and no HOA, the location offers both natural beauty and everyday convenience.
The home has been thoughtfully renovated and meticulously maintained over the years. Two front decks, both with built-in bench seating, offer beautiful views of the expansive front yard and create welcoming spaces to relax or gather with friends.
The backyard offers a true outdoor retreat. A custom-built treehouse provides a special space where children can let their imagination run free--perfect for art, crafts, and creative play. In addition, a separate playground area features a swing set, slide, and monkey bars, creating a wonderful outdoor environment for family fun. A storage building also conveys with the property.
The home offers four bedrooms and three and a half baths, along with a dedicated office and a flexible additional room currently used as a home gym. A unique feature of the layout is the presence of two ensuite bedrooms, offering the flexibility of a primary suite on either the main floor or the second floor. The main-floor bedroom includes its own ensuite bathroom and sits adjacent to the flex room, which could easily serve as a nursery, private guest suite, gym, secondary office, or additional living space.
Upstairs, you will find three additional bedrooms and a versatile bonus room currently used as a home office. One of the upstairs bedrooms also includes a Murphy bed, adding further flexibility to the space.
The kitchen is well equipped for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring an induction cooktop, steam oven, warmer drawer, and a refrigerator that produces sparkling water. A large island anchors the kitchen and opens to the dining area, creating a natural flow for gatherings. The island also includes a built-in beverage refrigerator, perfect for keeping drinks and refreshments easily accessible while entertaining. A gas line is also available under the house for future use.
The spacious family room comfortably accommodates two separate seating areas, one centered around a gas fireplace.
Notable upgrades include a sealed crawl space, new windows throughout most of the home (with the exception of the downstairs bedroom and gym), two tankless water heaters, HardiePlank exterior siding, and a metal roof with a 40-year warranty. The home features mostly hardwood flooring, with ceramic tile in the downstairs bedroom and gym.
The kitchen refrigerator, washer, and dryer convey with the home.
The current owners have taken exceptional care of the property. It has been a place for gathering with friends and family, creating lasting memories, and enjoying both the home and its beautiful surroundings. The next owners will have the opportunity to continue that tradition, and provide enjoyment for the next owner.
