About the property

J. Fuller Randers Model — 4BR, Main-Level Primary on .69 Acre

This J. Fuller Homes Randers model is a fresh, thoughtfully detailed new build offering an elevated Chapel Hill lifestyle on a private .69-acre lot. At 3,155 square feet the floorplan is intentionally livable: a main-level primary suite with tray ceiling, double-tile shower, and an expansive walk-in closet anchors the main floor. Main-level ceilings rise to 10' and the formal office with French doors provides a quiet work-from-home environment. The great room flows to a triple slider that opens to a screened porch overlooking a private backyard bordered by HOA/common land — a rare privacy buffer in close-in Chapel Hill neighborhoods.

The kitchen is built for everyday life and entertaining: a large island with quartz counters, white farmhouse sink, wall oven, and a gourmet gas cooktop, paired with a huge walk-in pantry that removes clutter and streamlines meal prep. Upstairs you'll find three additional bedrooms (each with walk-in closets), a flexible bonus/media room, and extra unfinished attic storage. Mechanical systems are modern and efficient — heat pump HVAC with zoning for comfort control.

Practical details matter: a three-car garage gives room for vehicles and workshop space, and there's abundant attic storage above. Utilities are on a shared well and septic system — a common arrangement in this semi-rural pocket — and the home is connected to electricity and water. The property sits on quiet Black Bear Court, providing low-traffic access while keeping you minutes from Chapel Hill amenities. RDU is roughly a 31-minute drive; Durham and downtown Chapel Hill are within easy commuting distance.

Whether you're seeking a primary residence with effortless main-level living or a high-quality new home to grow into, this Randers model delivers premium finishes, smart flow, and a private yard rarely available at this price point.

Editorial market perspective

The Chapel Hill / southern Orange County market remains supply-constrained for new, detached single-family homes in strong school zones. Median sold prices across Chapel Hill generally sit well below this listing, but homes with new-construction finishes, larger lots, and main-level primary suites trade at a premium. Inventory in the desirable price band for turnkey new homes is relatively low, producing quicker sales for well-priced, well-finished product. Interest from owner-occupiers—particularly families seeking school stability and professionals prioritizing commutes to the Triangle—keeps absorption steady. For buyers, this is an opportunity to lock in new-construction quality and a larger lot inside the Chapel Hill corridor; for sellers it represents a competitive price position that should attract motivated, qualified buyers if marketed to the right audiences (families, executives, downsizers seeking main-level primary).
