Chapel Hill ADU / Townhouse Rental in Detached Garage on Private Lot - Perfect for UNC Students, Staff, and Faculty!
This newly built 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom ADU is nestled within a detached garage structure on a spacious 2.5-acre lot on Whippoorwill Lane in Chapel Hill. Just 11 minutes (5.8 miles) from UNC-Chapel Hill, this Townhouse-style ADU offers an ideal living space for students, faculty, or UNC employees seeking a private, stylish, and convenient home close to campus.
Property Features:
– Unique Townhouse Layout: Nearly 1,000 SqFt spread across two levels, providing a comfortable open floor plan. Enjoy the privacy and charm of a separate garage ADU, detached from the main house but fully independent with its own entry.
– Gourmet Kitchen: The spacious kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a glass-top range with air fryer feature, ultra-quiet dishwasher, vented microwave, and stainless-steel sink with motion-activated faucet. Beautiful black granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, and white cabinetry with soft-close hardware, plus modern wood, matte-black and nickel accents.
– Comfort & Convenience: ALL NEW EVERYTHING... Water Heater, Smart Appliances, Counters, Cabinets, Doors, Windows, and full Insulation throughout for energy efficiency. A new dual-zoned HVAC System with NEST Thermostats. Plus, modern wood-look LVP flooring (no carpet) and recessed lighting throughout. Ceiling fans in the living and dining areas.
– Rest & Work: Bedrooms are upstairs with "Jack-and-Jill" bathroom and a large living area with fans. Both bedrooms include fans, closet space, and access to knee wall storage areas. The shared full bathroom in between the bedrooms features a floating vanity, tiled shower enclosure with dual-recesses, and built-in shelves. Or make the second room into your office or gym - if you only need one bedroom.
– Park Inside or Outside: Large 1-Car Garage, located within the same detached structure as the ADU. The garage includes an automatic door opener, providing direct access for ease of parking. Overhead racks allow the garage to be used for storage, while still being able to park your vehicle - or park in the driveway and make the garage your gym.
– Ample Storage & Utility Room: In addition to garage storage, the downstairs utility room features washer and dryer hookups with shelving for extra storage. A closet and storage area are tucked under the stairs for added space. And upstairs features five knee-wall access doors for attic storage.
– Privacy & Light Control: Faux-wood plantation blinds on all windows, with internal blinds in the exterior door for added privacy and natural light control. Plus, recessed lights are present on both levels and the fan lights are all set to remote controls.
Location Highlights:
– Peaceful, Private Setting: Enjoy the serenity of Whippoorwill Lane, a dead-end street perfect for safe walking or jogging. This peaceful setting is still close to all essentials, including nature spots like Jordan Lake, trails and local amenities.
– Convenience: Just an 11-minute drive to UNC-Chapel Hill and within 10 minutes of the Governor's Club.
– Utilities: Only Power (Electricity) is paid by the ADU resident(s). Water (Well) and Sewer (Septic) are included - shared with the main house. The water source is a filtered well. Sewer is a septic system. Due to septic restrictions, maximum occupancy for the ADU is 3 people.
