OPEN HOUSE: SUNDAY, AUGUST 23RD- 2:00 - 4:00 PM 2219 RIDGEWOOD ROAD, CHAPEL HILL, NC 27516

There are homes you list. And then there are homes like this one. Set behind a private gate and a drive that disappears beneath the trees, 2219 Ridgewood Road sits on more than five wooded acres just minutes from Chapel Hill and Carrboro — the kind of privacy that's grown increasingly hard to find this close to town. The home was shaped with Sarah Susanka, architect and author of The Not So Big House, working alongside James Morgan of BellaDomus and Frank Cole Building Company. Her influence is everywhere — not in grand gestures, but in Brazilian cherry floors, custom millwork, window seats, skylights, and rooms proportioned for how people actually live. Outside, the story continues: a saltwater pool tucked into the landscape, a screened porch and gazebo for gathering, a treehouse in the woods, and gardens that include fig, blueberry, blackberry, passion fruit — even a banana tree.
