Property details
About 101 Collinson Dr
Perched on a private knoll just minutes from vibrant downtown Chapel Hill, this classically styled brick home blends traditional charm with thoughtful modern upgrades—ideal for comfortable family living. Zoned for some of the area's most sought-after schools (Estes Hills, Guy Phillips, and East Chapel Hill High), it offers the perfect combination of community, convenience, and quiet. A subtle soldier course of brick wraps the base of the home, echoed in the front walk and setting the tone for the elegant design details to come. Step through the wide wooden front door, framed by sidelights and crowned by a striking Palladian window, into a soaring two-story foyer. From here, the home unfolds with a circular flow: formal dining to one side, a cozy reading or living room to the other—each offering its own charm and purpose. At the heart of the home is an open-concept kitchen, breakfast nook, and family room, all overlooking a private courtyard. Light streams into this vaulted space, where built-in cabinetry and bookcases flank a welcoming gas fireplace, beautifully finished with marble in a timeless herringbone pattern. The kitchen is a showstopper—outfitted with gleaming quartz countertops, a tumbled marble backsplash, and top-of-the-line Thermador appliances, including an induction cooktop, double wall ovens, and a convection microwave. It's the kind of space that inspires family dinners, late-night snacks, and everything in between. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a versatile den or bonus room perfect for movie nights, gaming marathons, or quiet homework time. The primary suite is a true retreat, with two large walk-in closets and a serene bath that includes soft-close cherry cabinetry, quartz counters, a soaking tub under the skylights, and a spacious shower with a rain glass enclosure. Head up one more level, and you'll discover a whimsical, multipurpose room complete with its own full bath. Whether it's a fifth bedroom, playroom, music studio, home office, or guest suite, the possibilities are endless—and the space is yours to shape. And don't worry about storage—there's plenty of it, including a generous walk-in attic. This home was designed for real life—elegant yet livable, private yet connected, with room for everyone and everything. Come see what it feels like to truly love where you live.
