205 Wood Cir
**A Rare Piece of Chapel Hill's Architectural History** The David Hill House is offered for lease — a striking three-bedroom, two-bath furnished residence designed by celebrated architect Arthur Cogswell, whose modernist vision favored clean simplicity, honest materials, and an unbroken dialogue with the land around it. This is not simply a home; it is a work of architecture, and an increasingly rare opportunity to live inside one. Set on a private .83-acre lot in Coker Hills, the property announces itself from the moment of arrival. Inside, soaring ceilings, rich natural woodwork, and custom built-ins frame an open, light-filled floor plan — distinctive, considered, and unmistakably original. Along the rear of the home, a dramatic wall of sliding glass doors dissolves the line between interior and forest, drawing the surrounding trees into every room. The primary suite opens to its own private courtyard, a quiet retreat entirely its own. Throughout the home, glass-enclosed living spaces continue this signature dialogue between indoors and out — a defining feature of Cogswell's design language, and one rarely found intact. The home's original character has been thoughtfully preserved and refreshed: freshly painted interiors, newly refinished parquet floors, and new luxury vinyl flooring in two bedrooms bring the space forward without dimming its architectural integrity. Further appointments include a gracious entrance foyer, a fireplace, radiant floor heating paired with central air, a double-vanity bath, a walk-in shower, and a bathtub/shower combination — along with a well-equipped kitchen featuring a dishwasher, electric range, and microwave. At the rear of the property, a globe-light-lined pathway leads to the home from the adjacent street, a small but unforgettable detail on arrival after dark. Tucked into one of Chapel Hill's most beloved neighborhoods, the David Hill House offers rare privacy without sacrificing proximity — Franklin Street, UNC, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and a wealth of dining are all just minutes away, with easy access to I-40. The home also falls within the East Chapel Hill High School district. This is a singular opportunity to live inside a true architectural landmark. --- **Offered for lease by Park Real Estate Management.** Contact Nicole Galiger at [email protected] to schedule a private tour. **Leasing requirements:** - Applicants must have a 650+ credit score and income of 2.5x the monthly rental rate - $75 application fee per applicant 18 years of age or older - $100 tenant onboarding fee per adult applicant
