Delight in this turnkey masterpiece, thoughtfully and extensively remodeled for the most discerning buyer, located right in the heart of The Oaks, one of Chapel Hill's most sought-after neighborhoods. Exceptional craftsmanship shines throughout, highlighted by white oak flooring, designer wallcoverings, newer lighting and plumbing fixtures, and rare specialty woods like sassafras and black locust. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen serves as a stunning culinary anchor, featuring leathered quartzite counters, a massive center island, a 46-inch JennAir gas range, a built-in refrigerator, and a microwave drawer. Steps away, a fully equipped butler's pantry boasts custom cabinetry, an ice maker, and a wine fridge - perfect for entertaining. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a bright breakfast area and a spacious family room anchored by built-ins and a fireplace. Formal gatherings are effortless in the elegant dining room and the stately billiards room. The main level primary suite is a true sanctuary, showcasing 16-foot vaulted ceilings, a masonry fireplace, a private sitting area, and a large walk-in closet. Its spa-like bathroom offers a steam shower, a standalone soaking tub, and custom vanities. Also featured on the main level is a private in-law suite with an updated bathroom and curbless entry shower, as well as a large walk-in pantry, mudroom, and an oversized laundry room with bench seating. Upstairs includes four additional generously sized bedrooms (one ensuite), a spacious playroom, a tucked-away library/office nook, and a beautiful flex space, currently used as a 7th bedroom/guest suite with rich wood accents and a remodeled private bath. The third level features a dedicated home gym and a flexible hobby loft. Outdoor living is equally spectacular, featuring gas lanterns, operable shutters, a bluestone front walkway, a matching rear patio, and a grand screened porch with ceiling fans and built-in heaters. The expansive, landscaped yard is steps away from a 3-car garage and plentiful parking. Perfectly positioned, this estate sits just a short walk from the Chapel Hill Country Club and minutes from the vibrant shops at Meadowmont and East 54, the UNC and Duke campuses, and I-40.
