Chic & Awe on Arlen. Eye candy and a treat for the senses--welcome to this mesmerizing setting and home with good bones, dreamy touches, and authentic character. Custom crafted by one of the Triangle's premier commercial builders as their personal residence, this magical place is a true refuge. A place purpose-designed and built for memorable moments- large and small.

Ultra-convenient location, walkable to all village faves plus just-over-a-mile to UNC. Careful planning maximizes privacy, including windows precisely placed to frame verdant views. Inside-and-out is a choreographed range of thoughtful experiences. Glass doors, abundant windows, and interior spaces orient toward the central courtyard. As inviting as Chapel Hill itself, the picket fencing, lush landscape, stone walls, refreshing pool, flagstone surround, charming bath house, stone fireplace, and grill await for all the ways you relax.

Interior spaces with soaring ceilings and plentiful natural light bathe heart-pine floors, substantial millwork, and the neutral palette in sunlight. A two-sided stone fireplace is the hearth and soul of the living and dining rooms. The free-flowing and friendly layout means all eyes can focus on the swoon-worthy kitchen with clean lines, sleek surfaces, professional appliances, and a spacious waterfall island. Lounge well in the family room off the kitchen with a limestone fireplace, built-in cabinetry, and covered terrace ready for alfresco dining. Calming currents course through the second level bedrooms with private baths. The ethereal aesthetic continues in the primary suite with lofty ceiling, built-in shelving, fireplace, dreamy closet, spa-like bath with steam shower, and linger-worthy porch - a happy spot for coffee or cocktails. The multipurpose room has served as a terrific exercise and art studio. Every detail radiates quality, style, and comfort. This village vanguard is the peace de resistance.
