About This Home
As of December 2024Welcome to 139 Purefoy Road, a charming duplex just steps from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

It has a private entrance, and its own washer and dryer conveniently located just outside, allowing for laundry access without compromising indoor space.
With ample parking available in the front, side, and back, residents will have no trouble finding space for vehicles - a valuable convenience in a bustling college town. Additional amenities include an outside storage shed, under porch storage, and various other storage options within each unit - providing plenty of room for personal items and seasonal gear.
