This handsome 2-story brick home at 109 Ellsworth Pl sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and delivers thoughtful living spaces for modern family life. The main level features a generous primary suite with two walk-in closets, a separate soaking tub and standalone shower, plus a main-floor den/office anchored by a gas fireplace — an ideal work-from-home location. Recent 2026 improvements (fresh interior and exterior paint, new Pella window, updated light fixtures and recessed lighting, sealed crawl space) give the home a refreshed, low-maintenance feel.
The heart of the house is the open kitchen, outfitted for serious cooking with a gas cooktop, double ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator and soapstone countertops that continue into the adjoining laundry area. A second staircase from the kitchen leads up to a large bonus room with built-ins and additional upstairs living areas: two bedrooms sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath, another bedroom with en-suite access, and a very large office/gaming room — big enough for a pool table or table tennis, perfect for teenagers or multi-use needs. Permanent attic stairs deliver abundant storage, a real convenience seldom found in homes of this vintage.
Outside, the roughly .44-acre lot provides a private backyard setting with mature landscaping and room to expand outdoor living. The home is in the walk zone for McDougle Elementary and McDougle Middle (per listing), a highly practical location for families. With no HOA, flexible outdoor projects are possible pending permitting.
Practical yet elegant, this property is priced at $1,150,000 and is an excellent fit for buyers seeking a larger Chapel Hill home with main-floor convenience, multiple dedicated office/bonus spaces, and kitchen finishes that stand out in the market. Schedule a tour to experience the flow, scale and thoughtful updates in person.
This established Chapel Hill neighborhood blends quiet residential streets with convenient access to downtown Chapel Hill, UNC amenities, and retail clusters like Southern Village. Mature trees and sidewalks create a family-friendly setting; properties in the area often attract faculty, physicians and professionals who value proximity to schools, greenways and town amenities.
Chapel Hill’s market in early 2026 remains moderately competitive with low-to-moderate inventory and steady buyer demand anchored to the University and local employment. Median single-family prices are elevated relative to surrounding Wake and Durham counties; family-sized homes in established neighborhoods — particularly those within walk zones of preferred schools — command a price premium. Days on market for comparable properties typically range from a few weeks to a month; well-priced, updated homes can sell faster. For this property, targeting move-up families, university faculty, and professionals seeking home offices will maximize buyer interest.
