About Property

Discover the unique charm of this historic brick cottage in Chapel Hill, a peaceful retreat nestled under the highest oak tree in Orange County. Originally a 1925 detached carriage house converted into a 'Honeymoon Cottage' for married UNC students, this home has been completely remodeled into a compact yet inviting residence that blends historic character with modern luxury.
