About 1820 Clearwater Lake Road
Set on approximately six private acres just minutes from UNC and downtown Chapel Hill, this is a rare chance to own significant acreage with true address prestige. A sparkling pool, adjacent gazebo area, and wraparound deck anchor the outdoor living space, opening onto gorgeous wooded views and a quiet, established street, the perfect setting for entertaining or unwinding at the end of the day. The home itself is a striking example of mid-century modern design, thoughtfully updated with newly refinished hardwood floors, carpet, and paint throughout for a bright, move-in-ready feel. With 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths on the main level, there's comfortable room for everyday living and guests alike. Downstairs, the finished basement offers untapped potential, with multiple distinct spaces ideal for a media room, home gym, game room, or guest suite. Between the acreage, the pool, and the unbeatable proximity to campus and town, this is a truly unique and special place to call home. Located minutes from UNC, Franklin Street, dining, shopping and cultural attractions, this home offers the rare combination of privacy and convenience - your own private oasis in Chapel Hill.
