A rare opportunity to enjoy lakefront living in the heart of Chapel Hill. Why spend hours driving to a weekend retreat when you can come home to the lake every single day? Nestled along scenic Eastwood Lake, this meticulously maintained home offers a peaceful escape with water views from nearly every room. Light-filled interior creates an airy, inviting feel, while thoughtfully designed spaces make entertaining easy without excess. Step outside to the expansive 34-foot deck--perfect for morning coffee, sunset gatherings, or simply enjoying the tranquil setting. Thoughtful system upgrades include a whole-house generator, solar panels, three HVAC systems replaced in 2021, and two tankless water heaters (2019) for added efficiency and peace of mind. Each bedroom features its own en-suite bath. The fourth upstairs bedroom is part of a private suite complete with a kitchenette and space for a stackable washer and dryer, creating an ideal setup for guests, extended family, or apartment-style living. A lower-level office with a full bath offers flexibility as a fifth bedroom, guest suite, or private workspace. Enjoy membership in the Lake Forest Association along with close proximity to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, University Place, UNC, and downtown Chapel Hill. A true hidden gem that will impress even the most discerning buyer.
