About 156 Stoney Creek Way

Welcome to 156 Stoney Creek Way — a beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home offering 4,867 square feet of expertly crafted living space on a generous 0.49-acre lot that extends well beyond the fenced yard. Located in one of Chapel Hill's most desirable gated communities, you'll enjoy resort-style amenities including a practice golf course, pool, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness center, walking trails, and a clubhouse perfect for private events. What truly sets this home apart is the exceptional outdoor living and rare privacy it offers. Unlike many homes in the neighborhood, this backyard feels like your own private retreat — with no direct neighbors behind and mature landscaping creating a sense of seclusion that's hard to find. A spacious screened-in porch comfortably seats six and opens to an extended deck complete with a hard-lined gas firepit and grill — perfect for entertaining or unwinding. The turf lawn provides a low-maintenance, play-ready space ideal for bocce ball, yard games, or simply relaxing under the stars. Landscape lighting casts a warm, welcoming glow throughout the backyard. Inside, the main level features expansive, light-filled living spaces with an open-concept layout. A formal living room and private office offer incredible flexibility — whether you're envisioning a game room with a pool table, a quiet work-from-home setup, or even converting the space into a main-level primary suite. The options are endless. Upstairs, each bedroom provides a peaceful retreat, while the additional flex and loft spaces are ideal for a home gym, playroom, or future fifth bedroom. The generous primary suite includes dual vanities, a walk-in shower, a soaking tub, and a spacious walk-in closet. Recent updates include a renovated bathrooms, refreshed laundry area, and newly painted bedrooms and main floor, and expanded screen porch and deck, adding to the home's modern and welcoming feel. The fully insulated crawl space is tall enough to walk through, offering secure, year-round storage or potential for creative use. Ideally situated just minutes from the growing 15-501 corridor, you'll have easy access to shops, restaurants, and expanding development in Chapel Hill and Durham — plus it's just a short drive to the charm, boutiques, and dining of downtown Pittsboro. This isn't just a house — it's a private retreat offering flexibility, elegance, and lifestyle in an amenity-rich, gated community. Come experience all that 156 Stoney Creek Way has to offer!
