271 Ellsworth Manor Drive

Hillsborough, NC 27278

It doesn't get much better than this. Welcome to 271 Ellsworth Manor Drive, a picture-perfect craftsman style home in the Forest Ridge neighborhood. Built in 2018 and meticulously maintained, this residence offers everything a homeowner could want-and then some. The roomy front porch is perfect for rocking while sipping coffee and waving good morning to neighbors, and the wooded buffer across the street offers a tranquil view. Inside, custom details and elevated sensibility are evident, from the board and batten walls, substantial millwork, custom built-ins, site-finished hardwood floors, and 9 foot ceilings, to the designer color palette and Sister Parish wallpaper. At the front of the home, a flex room can be used as a parlor, den, or dining room. A bedroom with private access to the main floor full bath can double as a home office, and a custom finished laundry room has a built-in workstation and supply storage to keep things tidy. The living room combines function and sophistication, with a gas fireplace, a shiplap accent wall, and built-in cabinets and bookshelves. There's a place for everything! The open-concept plan allows for a seamless flow to the kitchen and built-in dining area, a bonus for entertaining. A truly epicurean experience, the kitchen features Frigidaire Gallery appliances including double ovens, microwave, dishwasher, French door refrigerator, and 4-burner gas stove. A large center island with seating has a generous ceramic farmhouse sink; a Carrera marble backsplash compliments the quartz countertops and white cabinetry. Even Anthony Bourdain would envy the huge double pantries, including a walk-in storage space and second cupboard for keeping the vibe of the kitchen high-end and uncluttered. Pass by another set of built-ins (perfect for a board game collection?) on your way upstairs. On the top level you'll find two generous bedrooms connected by a dual-access bathroom. The primary suite is nothing short of palatial with hardwood floors, an expansive walk-in closet, and luxurious ensuite bath with large walk-in shower, separate soaking tub, private water closet, and double vanity. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a screened back porch and sunken stone paver patio, perfect for evenings under the stars or after-dinner drinks around a firepit. With professional landscaping and lighting, a built-in exterior shed for gardening and lawn supplies, and a climbing rose bush, the fenced yard offers privacy, harmony and delight in equal measure. Just a few steps from the back screened porch, a 2-car detached garage at the rear of the home is conveniently accessed through a back alley. Just the home, and the lifestyle, you've been waiting for. Come see it soon, this one won't last!
