353 Tenney Circle

Chapel Hill, NC 27514

''What is it that binds us to this place as no other?'' Maybe it is the well, the bell, stone walls, the crisp October nights and now dogwoods blooming. Welcome to 353 Tenney Circle, a modern oasis in the park-like and historic Tenney Circle neighborhood in Chapel Hill. Boasting walking distance to downtown Chapel Hill and iconic Franklin Street, this home is simultaneously a stone's throw from UNC campus and whisper quiet. Four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a dedicated office, and gathering spaces sized to accommodate a crowd comfortably. The current owners lovingly overhauled this classic mid-century modern house to achieve an inviting, open living space perfect for entertaining and relaxing around a 14-foot central island. The multifunctional lower-level can be accessed from the main residence or separate entrance, offering a living space sized to accommodate a bed, full bathroom, and kitchenette with refrigerator and sink. Recent improvements include: A complete renovation of the kitchen, living room, and dining area with all new island, prep sink, appliances, refinished floors, and designer lighting. HVAC replacement in 2025. New lower-level flooring. Outdoor storage shed designed to complement the main residence. Landscape improvements for year-round enjoyment plus native, deer-resistance plantings. Towering white oaks and poplars adorn the approximately 0.9 acre lot, which lends a tree house experience teeming with local wildlife. In the spring, summer, and fall, mature native foliage envelops the property, offering exceptional privacy with neighboring homes scarcely visible from anywhere inside. Rich in history, this home was built by George Barclay, UNC's first All-American football player and later UNC's Head Coach. Don't miss your chance to live in this distinguished and historic neighborhood, a priceless gem in the heart of Chapel Hill!
