Overview of Winmore
Winmore marks a new era in new construction—an entire neighborhood focused on green building and sustainable living but featuring classic architecture and modern amenities. Developed by Capkov Ventures, Winmore brings together the area’s finest builders including Dixon/Kirby & Company, Pickett Land & Building, Melville Builders, Kovens Construction Company and G. Crabtree Builders. The neighborhood’s custom single family homes, townhomes, and live/work units are all built to Energy Star standards and beyond, incorporating the latest green building practices.
Winmore is Chapel Hill and Carrboro’s first village mixed-use neighborhood, featuring a pedestrian oriented design, a variety of housing types, interconnected streets, public green spaces and commercial opportunities. Winmore is nestled in a lovely setting with the entrance a quarter of a mile long off Homestead Road in picturesque Carrboro, within walking distance to Chapel Hill/Carrboro schools, and convenient to downtown Chapel Hill & Carrboro, I-40 and the Triangle. Winmore is also only minutes from Homestead Park, Chapel Hill’s largest public park complex, which includes a new indoor/outdoor aquatic center and soccer and baseball fields as well as the new spectacular Senior Center!
Winmore boasts 96 single family and 86 town homes ranging from $300,000 through the $900,000’s. Of the 86 town homes, there are smaller town homes (up to 1,350 sq.ft.) starting in the $250,000 range. A welcoming Town Center, Philip’s Square, provides exciting opportunities for retail and commercial businesses. This central gathering place includes 20 live/work units designed with office space on the main floor with town home living space on two upper floors. Studio 91, a local wine lounge and art gallery, has moved from Meadowmont to Winmore's Phillips Square.
