About Property

Discover the ultimate academic retreat at the Penthouse, a stunning third-floor residence located within the historic Brick House in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Situated on the serene 2-acre campus of the Center for Human Science, this completely renovated space offers a blend of 1925 charm and 2011 modernization, making it one of the most sought-after apartments in the Center.

The layout is designed for comfort and productivity, featuring 1 bedroom with 1 bed and 1 bathroom, accommodating up to 3 guests. The sky-lighted bedroom is well equipped with drawers, shelves, and commodious closet space. For those working during their stay, the penthouse includes a dedicated two-person office tucked into an alcove, featuring a large 4’x8’ desk supported by two-drawer file cabinets. The comfortably furnished living room, complete with an armchair and convertible sofa, opens onto a covered terrace and provides a lovely view of the grounds. Guests will also find a dining area with a table and four chairs positioned before a striking half-circle arched window. The modern bathroom features a spa tub, though guests should note that the separate tiled shower is located in the kitchenette area. The compact kitchenette is equipped with a Corian countertop, undercounter refrigerator, microwave, Breville Toaster Oven, and Duxtop Induction Cooktop.

While the penthouse provides a private sanctuary, guests have access to the wider Center for Human Science community. This includes a shaded grove with hammocks, tables, and a grill available from March through November, as well as a covered porch with rocking chairs and a swing. Additional onsite facilities include a basketball court, a covered bike shed, and a washer/dryer located in the basement.

Location is the highlight of this property, situated as close to UNC as possible without joining a fraternity. You are just a half-block from the Carolina Inn and a short walk to the main campus, Memorial Hall, and Kenan Stadium. The heart of Franklin Street, with its vibrant mix of bookstores, coffee shops, and restaurants, is only two blocks north. For a peaceful escape, a paved footpath leads a 20-minute walk to downtown Carrboro and the Weaver Street Coop.
