115 Graylyn - $892,500

Now that's a spicy meatball! This house is positively majestic and has a kind of 'old money' quality to it that is seldom found in Chapel Hill. The house has many deluxe qualities, but they are usually understated. The old fashioned door hardware, the high (10 feet?) ceilings, the extra wide staircase - it all adds up to a lot of house.

This place also delivers on the square footage: 4,416! And the three car garage is also deluxe, but the surprising thing is that for all those square feet, you only get four bedrooms. Not that it needs more bedrooms, but it is just surprising to me that you can have over 4,000 square feet and only four bedrooms. It's because this house has a formal dining room, study, music room etc. etc. etc.

Chapel Hill doesn't have many homes in this price range, but I found this one convincing.
