Property details

About 3011 Jones Ferry Rd

Modern vintage meets treehouse vibes in this one-of-a-kind Chapel Hill hideaway! Set on a serene 2.12-acre wooded lot, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom 70s contemporary is full of soul and surprises. The open-concept main level features rich hardwood floors, funky architectural lines, and a sunroom that begs for morning yoga, an art studio, or your plant collection. The custom pantry/bar area adds extra style and function, perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings in. The main bedroom has its own private balcony for enjoying your morning coffee or a private nightcap. The finished basement is ready for movie nights, jam sessions, arcade games, or whatever creative space you've been dreaming about. If working with your hands or outdoors is more your vibe, check out not one but two outdoor workshops perfect for your woodworking, metalworking, or gardening hobbies. There's even a concrete basketball court with Carolina blue lines so you can properly live out your Tar Heel basketball fantasy! Or maybe relaxing is more your speed, so you'll enjoy the patio off the basement or the deck off the main level. The current owners have taken great care of the property with notable updates like a new roof and new carpet in 2025, new HVAC, gutters, gas stove, and microwave in 2022, and updated windows in the sunroom and main floor bedrooms in 2021. It feels like you're living in a private forest, but you're just minutes from UNC, Carrboro, and all the local flavor that makes this area so beloved. If you're craving something cool, creative, and totally not cookie-cutter, this is the home for you.
