107 Callard Run$750,000

Show Score Details

107 Callard Run is one of those once-in-a-generation homes. Historically, it has changed hands quickly and quietly, passed along by people who recognized its value before a sign ever hit the yard. For the first time, anyone can call it home. From the moment you step inside, the home sets the tone. A grand foyer welcomes you with a sweeping spiraling staircase that wraps around a dramatic, floor-spanning chandelier rising through multiple levels. To one side, the living room opens with vaulted ceilings and generous windows that pour natural light into every corner. Ahead, an arched entry draws you into a morning or dining area with tray ceilings, a glimpse of the flexible, thoughtful layout that carries throughout the home. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with new cabinetry, granite countertops, and undercabinet lighting. A built-in wine rack in the kitchen island rounds it out, because a home this intentional doesn't miss a detail. Enjoy a quiet morning in the eat-in kitchen nook, or step outside to the expansive multi-area back deck spanning the entire length of the home. With access from both the kitchen and the living room, it lives like a natural extension of the main level for entertaining or everyday living. Upstairs, the home continues to unfold its layers. A quiet reading nook nestles alongside the winding staircase, framed by a large front-facing window and surrounded by built-in shelving. A sitting room invites you to pause before French double doors open into the generous primary suite, featuring vaulted ceilings and a bath full of character with a walk-in shower, soaking tub, and walk-in closet. A skylight and a striking stained glass window give the space privacy while bathing the space in light.. An additional bedroom on this floor with cathedral ceilings, is a reminder that this home simply does not run out of things to give. The third floor brings its own personality. A loft anchors the space alongside two bedrooms and a full bath. One bedroom is traditional, the other is a conversation starter. A built-in elevated bed with a detachable ladder and built-in shelving throughout makes it one of the most memorable rooms in the home. Both are painted in classic Carolina Blue, because this is Chapel Hill after all. The entire home is filled with abundant light thanks to its numerous and generous windows, and plantation shutters offer privacy with a timeless, tailored finish. The two-car garage includes a lofted area with shelves and cabinets for ample storage. Last year the exterior was refreshed top to bottom with new paint on the siding, windows, doors, and decks, and this year almost all new interior paint as well, so the next owner gets to simply enjoy. And yes, those are real hardwood floors. Not a plank of LVP in sight. Located in a quiet, established neighborhood with walkable access to Dry Creek Trail, Cedar Falls Park, and East Chapel Hill High School, the home also offers quick access to US-501, I-40, Wegmans, Trader Joe's, more shops, dining, and of course UNC-CH that make this corner of Chapel Hill oh so convenient. A home like this has never needed the market. Now that it's here, don't wait.
