Rarely available, The Greenlaw House, a stunning, historical estate built in 1922 for Edwin Greenlaw, namesake of UNC's Greenlaw Hall. Designed by Arthur Nash, whose major works include the Carolina Inn, Wilson Library, and Venable Hall, among many other campus buildings contributing to UNC Chapel Hill's reputation as one of the most beautiful college campuses in the US. Nash was credited as being "an artist in discerning the quality and tone of the ancient campus and blending the new harmoniously with the old." The current owners and their architect tried to do the same when planning their 2018 thoughtful and meticulous transformation of this gorgeous estate by judiciously expanding and adding the modern conveniences that selective buyers require. This impressive property now boasts 5586 sq.ft., 4/5 BR's and 4.5 BA's in the main house & features a large gourmet kitchen, luxurious owner's suite, five fireplaces, screened porch, pool with bluestone patio, grilling deck and firepit, a wine cellar, detached garage (with a beautiful exercise room and pool bath), and open concept guest house (built in 2001).
