Inside, the home offers a warm and functional layout with formal living and dining rooms, a spacious family room with fireplace, and great natural flow for everyday living and entertaining. The bonus room above the garage provides excellent flexibility for a home office, playroom, media room, yoga space, or guest overflow area.

Located just minutes from Carrboro and Chapel Hill, this home offers the convenience of town with the privacy and tranquility of a tucked-away neighborhood setting. Rarely do homes become available in Mel Oaks -- especially ones with this combination of setting, updates, outdoor living, and school district access. Read Less
