Property Description
Located in Northwood on the north side of Chapel Hill, 205 Palafox Drive offers 3,177 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a large bonus room and a beautiful setting backing to neighborhood green space. The remodeled kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and a custom backsplash, and opens to a comfortable family room with a gas fireplace. Hand-scraped hardwood floors extend throughout both the first and second floors—there is no carpet in the home—and custom built-in bookcases add character to the living room. A butler’s pantry, first-floor laundry room with cabinetry and sink, front and back staircases, and a second-floor walk-in attic add exceptional functionality and storage. Upstairs, the spacious bonus room provides flexible space for a home office, media room, playroom or additional gathering area. The home has been thoughtfully prepared for sale with new landscaping, paint touch-ups, new toilets throughout, a completed pre-sale inspection with repairs addressed, and a termite inspection with no termites found. Just minutes from I-40, Chapel Hill North and Timberlyne Shopping Center, the home is approximately 10 minutes from UNC and downtown Chapel Hill and 15 minutes from Duke University.
