Tucked among mature trees on a beautifully landscaped .95-acre homesite, this thoughtfully updated home offers the perfect balance of privacy, flexibility, and convenience-all just 8 minutes from historic downtown Hillsborough. A welcoming rocking chair front porch overlooks the expansive front lawn, while the backyard is designed for everyday enjoyment with a screened porch and spacious composite deck, all overlooking a private wooded backdrop that's perfect for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or entertaining friends. Established blueberry bushes provide a sweet seasonal harvest and add to the property's charm. Inside, you'll find fresh, inviting spaces with new interior paint, beautifully updated bathrooms, and a permitted flex room addition that easily adapts to your lifestyle as a home office, fitness room, playroom, studio, or media room. A walk-up attic offers exceptional storage, while the oversized side-entry two-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, tools, and hobbies. Important updates include a roof and gutters replaced in 2021 and the added peace of mind of a generator. Nature lovers will appreciate being less than half a mile from Seven Mile Creek Natural Area, offering miles of scenic trails for hiking, birdwatching, and exploring the outdoors. Just down the road, Moorefields, one of Orange County's treasured eighteenth-century historic homes, hosts concerts, art programs, educational events, and seasonal gatherings that celebrate the history and culture of Hillsborough. Offering nearly an acre of usable land, flexible living spaces, quality updates, and an exceptional location close to shopping, dining, and I-40/85, this home delivers the peaceful setting you've been looking for without sacrificing convenience.
