825 Rue E. Franklin

Welcome HOME to Franklin Street! Not just any street in Chapel Hill, but one of the most iconic places to call home in all of Carolina. With a striking stone entry and mature landscaping, this spacious and inviting home offers six bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, and a rare opportunity to live in the middle of everything you love, without sacrificing the comforts of home. Built in 2009, this custom home offers the room to spread out, gather together, and entertain on any scale. The main level features hardwood floors, an open living area, a fireplace, a formal dining room, a breakfast area, a dedicated office, and a primary suite. The kitchen and primary bathroom were renovated in 2022, with the kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, an oversized island, and a 48-inch Thermador Pro Grand dual-fuel range with six burners, a griddle, and double ovens. Whether you’re preparing dinner for two or hosting a whole team of guests, the oversized island is ready for the occasion. Upstairs, you’ll find three additional bedrooms all with en-suite bathrooms, plus a bonus room with even more space to relax, work, or play. One of the home’s standout features is the finished lower level, complete with its own exterior entrance, kitchenette, living area, dedicated home theater, two additional bedrooms, and another full bathroom. With separate rear parking, this level offers incredible flexibility for extended guests, multigenerational living, or simply giving everyone room to enjoy their own space. And what’s a little Southern living without a porch? Multiple outdoor living spaces across different levels, including a hot tub porch, covered deck, and lower-level covered patio, offer plenty of places to enjoy morning coffee, unwind in the evening, or welcome friends for a visit. Natural stonework, mature trees, low-maintenance landscaping, a fenced yard, and outdoor lighting add character throughout the property. A two-car garage and additional rear parking provide everyday convenience. And then, of course, there’s Franklin Street. From Carolina traditions and campus landmarks to local restaurants, shops, sports, and everything that keeps us coming back to Chapel Hill, this is a location that makes it easy to enjoy the best of the town you love.
