Carolina Cottage - Spacious UNC Family Home

Located on a secluded 3.5-acre wooded lot, this 3BR / 3.5BA Chapel Hill retreat is a peaceful, family-friendly escape thoughtfully managed by me and my team at The Brighthouse, local hospitality experts known for warm, elevated guest experiences. With a well-stocked kitchen, formal dining area, vaulted living room with fireplace, and private home theater, there’s space to spread out and connect. Each bedroom features an ensuite bath and blackout curtains for restful nights, while the large deck with a firepit invites stargazing and storytelling. Just 10 minutes from Carrboro and UNC, this home is ideal for family getaways, college visits, or relaxing nature-filled weekends.
