At the intersection of vintage and new, a captivating opportunity awaits. With more than 400k in upgrades and renovations, this 1911 Craftsman-style bungalow in the heart of the Historic District has been transformed—a modern miracle of historic details melded with must-have amenities in a sought-after location, a few minutes stroll to the hip Hillsborough downtown vibe. In this classic layout with four fireplaces, enjoy the natural light flooding the living room through the leaded glass windows. Flow into the formal dining room with its rich wood accents and ''fringed'' chandelier. The chic kitchen is a creative hub that lures chefs of all levels with its streamlined layout, granite counters, stainless appliances, and new cabinets with abundant storage. The main floor primary bedroom features an ensuite bath with a zero-entry tiled shower and granite-topped vanity. Be inspired to write the next literary masterpiece or read the latest best seller by an esteemed local author in the airy study/office overlooking the front porch. Step upstairs to the additional guest bedrooms, also potential office or flex space, plus a tiled bathroom with dual sink vanity and walk-in shower. Sip a tall cool one on the screened porch or backyard pergola while drinking in the perennials in the raised garden bed. Not to be missed — the one bedroom ''Carriage House'' (ADU) in the back of the property, perfect for additional rental income or visiting family and friends. Plans for renovating the second level (accessed by an exterior staircase) into studio space will be conveyed with the house. From the welcoming front porch with its decorative screens to the fenced backyard landscaped oasis, soak in the magical moments. Close to everything Downtown Hillsborough offers—unique shopping, upscale groceries, coffee shops, top restaurants, nightlife and miles of forested walking trails. Convenient access to Durham, Chapel Hill, Research Triangle Park, Duke University, and UNC.
