4 The Glen

Once the home of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paul Green, 4 The Glen is a rare opportunity to own a piece of North Carolina history. Nestled on over an acre of land in the heart of Chapel Hill, this bright and lovely home has been thoughtfully renovated while preserving the charm and soul of its storied past.
The spacious and light-filled open living area flows beautifully into the dining room and kitchen, creating an inviting space that feels both warm and expansive. Step outside to the incredible covered side deck—perfect for large family gatherings, quiet mornings with coffee, or evenings surrounded by nature. The 1.1-acre lot offers privacy, mature trees, and a sense of peaceful retreat just moments from the energy of Franklin Street.
A detached studio space of over 500 square feet adds flexibility for a guest suite, home office, art studio, or rental opportunity. The current owners—only the second to care for this special property—have loved it for decades and are now, with full hearts, passing it on to new stewards ready to make their own memories here.
Whether you're drawn by the history, the setting, or the soulful feel of the home, 4 The Glen is truly one-of-a-kind.
