Designed by Jim Webb, this one-level Modernist home on 1.17 acres features a gated entry courtyard and fenced, mature landscaping. This quiet retreat is included in the NCModernist Registry and featured in the Jan 2026 issue of Retrofit Home magazine -- thoughtfully restored and renovated while preserving its clean lines and connection to nature. The main living area is wrapped in expansive glass, capturing magical morning light and views of the surrounding landscape. The east wing, also designed by Webb, includes a garden room (swoon), a private guest/flex suite with separate HVAC, and a second living area -- ideal for multigenerational living or guests. Features include 3 bedrooms/3 baths, crisply renovated kitchen, cedar siding, 2023 roof, newer doors and windows, one-car garage/workshop, screened porch, paver patio, a sunset terrace for alfresco dining, and wait 'til you see the peonies! Nestled within nature, enjoy peaceful privacy minutes from UNC, campus amenities, and the Bolin Creek Trail. A Modernist home this well maintained is truly a distinctive offering.
