About 42 Balfour Run, Chapel Hill, NC, 27516

This three-story townhome at 42 Balfour Run is a standout in Briar Chapel, offering a flexible floorplan across 2,773 finished square feet. The main level is arranged for everyday living and entertaining with an open-concept layout that eases movement between living, dining, and kitchen spaces. A screened porch off the main level gives you a comfortable outdoor room for evening dinners and weekend reading without worrying about bugs.

Upstairs the primary suite and two additional bedrooms create a quiet private wing for family life. Bedrooms are separated to provide privacy and adaptable uses—sleep, study, play. The third floor is a thoughtful bonus: a private fourth bedroom with a full bath that works exceptionally well as a guest suite, a dedicated home office, or a media room away from the main living areas.

Built in 2022, the home provides the advantages of newer construction—clean lines, modern systems, and efficient layout—without sacrificing room sizes. The townhouse footprint keeps maintenance low while still delivering generous interior volume across three levels. The neutral, well-proportioned rooms make it easy to personalize finishes and furnishings to your taste.

Briar Chapel amplifies the lifestyle this home offers. Miles of trails, neighborhood parks, sports courts, playgrounds, a resort-style pool, fitness center, and clubhouse are all community features that expand your living space outdoors. Commuting and errands are convenient: the property is a short drive to Chapel Hill and UNC, with Pittsboro, shopping, and dining options within easy reach. Whether you’re drawn to quiet evenings on the screened porch or active weekends on the trails, 42 Balfour Run blends low-maintenance living with community amenities and flexible interior spaces designed for modern life.

Market Insights

This listing is priced at $525,000, which aligns with the valuation midpoint for the property (estimated at $525,000) and a price-per-square-foot of approximately $189. Townhomes built since 2020 in the Chapel Hill area—especially in amenity-rich communities like Briar Chapel—continue to attract buyers who value low-maintenance ownership combined with community recreation. While specific days-on-market and inventory figures are not included in the available data, newer townhome inventory in master-planned communities often sees steady interest from buyers seeking proximity to Chapel Hill and UNC without the upkeep of a single-family lot. For buyers, this is a competitive opportunity to secure a recently built, three-level home with a third-floor private suite and broad community amenities. For sellers, the listing's combination of size, recent construction (2022), and HOA amenities supports solid buyer demand. Both buyers and sellers should verify current local inventory and DOM with a local agent to time offers and pricing strategy precisely.
