Timeless Elegance in Triple Crown Estates A Masterpiece of Refined Living - 9,067 Square Feet of Uncompromising Luxury in the coveted Chapel Hill- Carrboro school system. Nestled on just over three meticulously manicured acres within the prestigious Triple Crown Estates, this magnificent all-brick manor stands as a testament to extraordinary craftsmanship and discerning taste. The residence commands attention with its intelligent yet cozy design, soaring 10-foot ceilings, exquisite architectural moldings, and sumptuous finishes that marry elegance with warmth throughout its 9,068 square feet of living space. The estate's grounds present a serene sanctuary, where a covered deck with graceful arbor and an expansive back patio illuminated by extensive landscape lighting overlook a verdant landscape.
