Some homes offer space. This one offers possibilities. Set on a large corner lot in Cates Farm, this distinctive home pairs beautifully updated living spaces with a separate professional recording studio by acclaimed designer, Wes Lachot. The kitchen features a large island, open shelving and newer appliances. A main-level bedroom with a nearby full bath is ideal for guests, multigenerational living, a private office or simply planning ahead. Upstairs, the primary suite feels especially elevated, with a floating double vanity, oversized glass shower with rain shower head and glossy teal herringbone tile that gives the bath a boutique-hotel feel. Indoor living extends outside to a sunroom, huge deck and private fenced backyard. The detached recording studio is a true showpiece and a dream for musicians, producers and content creators. Keep it as a serious recording studio, create a screening room, build the ultimate office or give guests, teens, artists or collaborators a world of their own. A full unfinished basement below the studio adds room for storage, workshop space or whatever comes next. Meticulously maintained, the home also features refinished hardwoods and a sealed crawlspace. Just 5 minutes from downtown, the location keeps Carrboro's energy close at hand—the ArtsCenter, farmers market, Weaver Street, Cat's Cradle, local restaurants and shops. McDougle Elementary/Middle "walk" zones with access to miles of Carolina North trails nearby. With rare space to live, gather, create and grow, this is more than a beautiful home. It is a home with a second life built in.
