602 E Rosemary StreetChapel Hill, NC 27514

Built in 1925 by Brodie Thompson for Bertha, Mittie, and Myrtle Pickard, the daughters of George and Sarah Pickard, and designed by architect Arthur Nash, 602 E. Rosemary continues to charm with its subtle Southern elegance almost 100 years after its construction. Although Nash designed only a handful of private residences, the bulk of Nash's professional catalogue, including the Carolina Inn, can be found on campus. With only two owners of record, renovations and updates have been carefully planned to maintain and reflect the original architectural details and intent. The house graciously receives visitors with a generously proportioned entry, light-filled living and dining rooms, and a kitchen big enough for cooking and entertaining. Even though you are a hop, skip, and a jump from the hustle and bustle of Franklin Street, a rocking chair porch facing Boundary Street, a covered porch off the scullery, and a petite English garden bordering the Horace Williams House property all provide quiet and private outdoor spaces to visit or retreat. A large walk-up attic offers ample additional storage for all the extras, and the attached shed is big enough for bicycles, strollers, and potting supplies.
