In a neighborhood where renovated homes command significant premiums, this is a chance to step into Westwood at an accessible entry point and shape the next version of a 1940's classic. This cottage resides in one of Chapel Hill's most established in-town neighborhoods, where architectural styles mix easily and mature hardwoods frame the streets. Long-time homeowners, graduate students, visiting professors, and undergrads provide the interesting blend Westwood has always had, and it works! From here, UNC and ''Up Town'' are minutes away. Restaurants, coffee, boutiques, it's a walk, a bike ride, or quick drive away. Three bedrooms (one additional on lower level) two baths, and a family room anchored by a cozy fireplace establish a practical, well-proportioned living level on the main floor.
