First time to the market in over 50 years, this beautiful family home architecturally designed and built in 1971 is everything you want from mid-century style … high raked ceilings, timber finishes abound including hardwood timber floors, louvred windows and large, timber framed glass doors are just for starters. Set in almost rainforest-like surrounds, the house is perfectly designed to amplify it's tranquil and lush setting. In great but mostly original condition, the opportunity to renovate and restore literally oozes out of every nook and cranny. If you like the mid-century style or you are simply after a large Chapel Hill family home in a quiet but convenient location then this is definitely one you cannot go past.
INSIDE THE HOUSE

First open house this Saturday, it goes without saying that the interest in this one will be strong but please rest assured that I will not sell this before Saturday at the very least so that all interested parties will have a fair chance to secure this home if it is the one for you.
