Now offered with the adjoining approximately 0.48-acre parcel, this unique Old Lystra Road opportunity comprises nearly one acre across two existing lots in a coveted Orange County location, convenient to downtown Chapel Hill and within the Chapel Hill School District. Held by the same family for generations, the property offers a collection of existing structures on a spacious, near 1-acre of land. The main parcel features an original 1950s home in need of full renovation, along with a detached one-bedroom cottage to the rear that was rented many years ago and also requires renovation. Both are served by private well and septic. The adjoining 0.48-acre parcel, identified as Unit RR in tax records, is now included in the offering. It features a site-built structure that has been used for storage only and is not connected to utilities. Both parcels are zoned RLD-1 within the joint city/county planning jurisdiction. Buyers can explore retaining the properties as two separate parcels or combining them, subject to applicable governmental approvals and requirements. The seller is a co-owner and has not lived in the main home since childhood and therefore cannot speak to the current condition of the home, structures, well or septic systems. The property and structures require substantial rehabilitation and are being sold as-is. Bring your contractor, your architect, your imagination and your offer. This is an opportunity for someone ready to see beyond what is here today and envision what could come next. Viewings strictly by appointment only. ## Location - **Address:** 1753 Old Lystra Road, Chapel Hill, NC 27517 - **County:** Orange - **Neighborhood:** Not in a Subdivision - **Coordinates:** 35.864231, -79.064621 - **Google Maps:** https://www.google.com/maps?q=35.864231,-79.064621 ## Listing Agent - **Name:** Melissa Villeda - **Brokerage:** Compass North Carolina - **Broker Phone:** (212) 913-9058 - **Listing URL:** [View original listing](https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1753-Old-Lystra-Rd_Chapel-Hill_NC_27517_M54219-72330?f=listhub&s=TRIANGLE&m=10178618&c=propsimple) ## Photos ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 1](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f2107151920r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 2](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f1129994707r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 3](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f3856868668r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 4](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f2393803506r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 5](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f3325152137r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 6](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f1540757671r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 7](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f1183004661r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 8](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f3608113255r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 9](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f3380632867r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 10](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f3012394858r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 11](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f1091052982r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 12](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f676779786r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 13](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f1481876056r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 14](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f1242756204r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 15](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f410444406r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 16](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f2638672280r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 17](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f862417772r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 18](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f2345229098r.jpg) ![1753 Old Lystra Road - Photo 19](http://lh.rdcpix.com/13243b05eb5a5cc7b524c46d838a517cl-f3759138351r.jpg) --- **MLS#:** 10178618 | **Updated:** 2026-10-29 **Source:** listhub *Copyright © 2026 Doorify MLS.
