Property Description
One of a Kind ~ Just four blocks from the heart of downtown historic Hillsborough and its cherished proprietary restaurants and art community, this captivating home is a rare opportunity. As a piece of the town's heritage, the center-front portion of this charming estate is an 1850 cottage once relocated from behind the courthouse in the 1980's. Carefully minding the preservation of the original main house, a new main floor primary suite addition was installed in 2018. The home showcases rich historical character, including dual original fireplaces, the original house preserved wood slat walls and ceilings, and a handcrafted mantle and set of shelves—carefully formed from a black walnut tree and pecan tree that once resided on the property. The unique stairwell trim, hand-crafted by the current seller, was made from pecan, adds a warm and unexpected touch of craftsmanship. The kitchen is accented by a beautifully restored pine ceiling, salvaged from an old local store, offering a rustic elegance that complements the home's historic charm. The front living and dining rooms, situated between the original masonry fireplaces, reflect the home's early 19th-century origin while blending seamlessly with the more recent updates. Hardwood floors run throughout (zero carpet). The primary suite addition boasts tons of natural light, a tiled walk-in shower, elongated dual bathroom vanity, heated bathroom floors, and a walk-in closet. The lower level includes a private entrance and rough-plumbed (water and gas) space for an efficiency kitchen, creating potential for a guest suite, rental income, or multi-generational living. The third ''bedroom'', though lacking a dedicated closet, offers flexibility as an office, studio, or guest retreat. A spacious mudroom/ laundry room provides easy outdoor access to established gardens, landscaping, the fenced backyard, and the chicken coop. Outside, the property is lavishly and intentionally landscaped, with extensive plantings supported by a drip irrigation system connected to the original well, kept for landscaping purposes. A slate and stone paver walkway winds through the yard, leading to a hand-laid brick patio and the charming chicken coop. The fenced backyard and two sheds add to the property's functional value, while the metal roof and numerous updates offer peace of mind and low maintenance living. The screened porch off the kitchen is perfect for enjoying serene evenings,
Ample parking (unlike many downtown properties) rounds out this home's great list of features.
Featured on Hillsborough's Riverwalk history placard, this property places you just six blocks from Weaver Street Market, and approximately five blocks from the public library, Gold Park, and the scenic Riverwalk trail. Come see the thoughtful preservation, rich character, and modern updates, all seamlessly come together in this truly unique property—a home where history lives beautifully alongside the present.
