205 Palafox Drive | Home for Sale in Chapel Hill, NC

Set in Northwood on the north side of Chapel Hill, 205 Palafox Drive offers 3,177 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a large bonus room and a backyard that adjoins neighborhood green space. Beautiful hand-scraped hardwood floors extend throughout both the first and second floors—there is no carpet anywhere in the home—creating a warm, cohesive feel from room to room.

At the heart of the home is a remodeled kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and a custom tile backsplash create a polished, timeless look. The kitchen opens directly to the family room, where a gas fireplace provides a comfortable gathering space. A butler’s pantry connects the kitchen to the dining room, adding convenient storage and serving space when entertaining.

The living room features custom built-in bookcases, adding architectural character and useful storage. A front and back staircase provides easy access to the second floor, while the first-floor laundry room is exceptionally functional with cabinetry and a utility sink. The main level also includes an updated half bathroom.

Upstairs are four bedrooms plus a spacious bonus room that offers tremendous flexibility as a media room, playroom, home office, exercise space or additional gathering area. A walk-in attic on the second floor provides easily accessible storage without the hassle of pull-down stairs.

Outside, new landscaping enhances the home’s curb appeal, while the backyard’s connection to neighborhood green space creates a more natural setting and a wonderful sense of openness. Additional improvements include new toilets throughout the home and interior and garage paint touch-ups.

Just as important, the home has been thoughtfully prepared for the market. A pre-sale home inspection has been completed and repairs addressed, and a termite inspection found no termites—giving buyers valuable information about the home’s condition before making an offer.

Northwood offers an exceptionally convenient Chapel Hill location with quick access to I-40, Chapel Hill North and Timberlyne Shopping Center for shopping, dining and everyday conveniences. UNC and downtown Chapel Hill are approximately 10 minutes away, with Duke University approximately 15 minutes away. With its remodeled kitchen, hardwood floors throughout, flexible living spaces, abundant storage and green-space setting, 205 Palafox Drive combines comfort, function and a location that makes getting around Chapel Hill and Durham easy.
