    Description

    Tucked away in the serene Forest Hills neighborhood in Chapel Hill, this enchanting home exudes timeless charm and whispers of possibility. Inside, well-kept hardwood floors and oversized casement windows fill every corner with warmth. While it does need work, the home's character shines through in every detail—from the cozy, wood-burning fireplace to the inviting basement art studio, ready to inspire your creative passions. With a touch of imagination and care, this solid and graceful home can easily become something extraordinary. The kitchen, with its breakfast bar, pantry, and eat-in nook, invites transformation into the culinary space of your dreams. The primary suite offers comfort with a view, dual closets and a private ensuite, while a full, versatile basement provides endless possibilities for living, working, or creating. The light-filled living room offers sweeping views of the lush greenery that surrounds the home. Outside, the magic continues with lush foliage, towering hardwoods, and vibrant tropicals—banana palms and elephant ears—a natural paradise reminiscent of UNC's beloved Coker Arboretum. Enjoy morning coffees on the expansive upper deck that spans the length of the home. Or, savor a peaceful moment on the private lower deck off the ground floor. This isn't just a home—it's a canvas for your imagination, a sanctuary waiting to be rediscovered. Bring your vision, your creativity, and your heart, and let 163 Lake Ellen Drive become the dream you've been searching for!
