1908 S Lakeshore Drive

Chapel Hill, NC 27514

Every great home tells a story—and this one unfolds like a design classic. Set high on a hill atop an extraordinary 1.4-acre lot, this authentic mid-century modern residence commands one of the most coveted settings in Lake Forest. Originally designed and built for Earl & Rhoda Wynn, respected contributors to Chapel Hill's arts and communications community, the home blends architectural provenance with thoughtful modern refinement. A comprehensive interior redesign in 2010 honored the original vision while elevating it for modern living. The grounds feel like a private retreat, with rolling green lawns, layered gardens, mature plantings, and even banana trees creating a lush, almost botanical setting. Inside, the architecture takes center stage. Soaring ceilings and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and doors frame tranquil views and flood the home with natural light. Warm maple floors and stairs, designer lighting, and curated finishes strike a balance between timeless design and contemporary comfort. The chef's kitchen is equipped with premium appliances, including a six-burner Wolf cooktop, Thermador double ovens, Bosch dishwasher, and a Liebherr French-door refrigerator with integrated wine cooler. Main-level bedrooms and baths offer easy everyday living, while the lower level provides flexible space ideal for a guest suite, office, or private apartment, along with generous storage. Meticulously maintained with attention to all major systems, the home also features a new roof installed in 2024, offering peace of mind for years to come. Outdoor living invites you to linger, with a private back patio perfect for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation, or evening gatherings. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special property. Once you arrive, you may never want to leave.
