Property Description

Nestled on a charming hillside corner in the heart of Historic Hillsborough, this thoughtfully preserved 2- bedroom, 2-bath vintage bungalow with an additional flex/sunroom blends timeless character with modern comfort. Just three blocks from N Churton Street and downtown, the 2003 addition was carefully designed to honor the home's history while enhancing everyday living. Original hardwood floors, portions of the beadboard ceiling, the original front door, dual wood-burning fireplaces and an authentic clawfoot tub, all another touch of vintage appeal. Timeless brick steps and stone path welcome you to a rocking-chair front porch. Inside, you'll find a spacious kitchen with abundant cabinetry, storage and workspace, and an authentic enameled cast-iron kitchen sink. The light-filled sunroom/flex space with vaulted ceiling and window-laden walls overlooks the gardens. Fresh interior paint, cordless window Roman shades, and creative storage all enhance the spaces throughout. Recent improvements include a 2023 metal roof with a 45-year paint warranty, new gutters, new kitchen and flex/sunroom flooring, updated appliances, whole-house exterior painting in 2025, new fireplace inserts, and the 2 ½ yr old front HVAC. Fiber internet is available. Outdoor living is equally inviting with a Southern-style screened porch, Chapel Hill gravel and stone-lined pathways, outdoor dining and gathering spaces, a fire pit area, and a charming greenhouse shed tucked into the hillside. The magical, fenced quarter acre lot features daylilies, dogwoods, a fig tree, ferns, gardenias, iris, Lenten roses, salvia, and many other carefully curated perennials. Enjoy one-story living just blocks from the Riverwalk, Nash Street shops and restaurants, and less than a half-mile from the library, grocery store, Historic Hillsborough Farmers Market, and the vibrant dining scene that makes Hillsborough the county seat and one of North Carolina's most beloved small towns.
