Just one mile to the Dean Smith Center and UNC's Business School, this restored 1950s log cabin offers rare character in a truly unbeatable location. Nestled among trees with wooded views, it blends historic charm with modern updates. Step inside to a cozy living room with a brick fireplace, vaulted ceilings, spiral staircase, and solid wood floors. The updated kitchen includes appliances and plenty of cabinet space, while the flexible back room with glass sliders is ideal as a sunroom, office, or study. Upstairs, the loft-style bedroom overlooks the main living space, creating a chalet-like feel. The second downstairs room can serve as an additional bedroom or study. Outdoor living is just as inviting with a large screened porch, spacious deck, and fenced backyard. The bath combines with laundry, and a stacked washer/dryer is included. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to live steps from UNC while enjoying the privacy and charm of a wooded retreat. Solid rental history. $1,600/month and rent can likely be increased.
