503 Pine Bluff Trail Chapel Hill , NC 27516

The location is ideal. You get to shape what comes next! 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. While distinct from the dining room, the kitchen is adjacent creating natural connectivity while maintaining definition. And off the kitchen is an expansive elevated deck that offers additional space to entertain or simply enjoy some time in the sun. For a buyer with vision and investment, the lower level, with a bedroom, flex room, and its own entrance opens up real opportunities for a separate rental apartment, an in-law suite, or private workspace (subject to approvals). It's a property where thoughtful updates could meaningfully elevate both livability and long-term value. The neighborhood has long appealed to both established residents and students alike, positioning this home as either a lifestyle purchase or a strategic investment - with room for its next owner to shape what comes next!
