About this home
Renovated, historic, and in the heart of Downtown Mebane, this charming 1915 bungalow blends timeless character with modern updates. Leave the car behind and enjoy an easy walk to local restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, parks, community events, and more. Set on a rare 0.71-acre lot, the property offers an incredible amount of outdoor space for a downtown home, with raised garden beds, 2 peach trees, a fig tree, and a newly built screened porch perfect for morning coffee or relaxing evenings. A 23'x14' workshop with attached storage sheds offers plenty of room for hobbies, projects, or extra storage. Inside, 10-foot beadboard ceilings, oak flooring, and extensive trim work preserve the home's historic charm. The beautifully updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, a copper farmhouse sink, gas range with hood, pot filler, stainless steel appliances, custom island, and walk-in pantry with a barn door and cathedral ceiling. The adjoining living room centers around a working wood stove, while on the opposite side of the kitchen is a formal dining room with glass pocket doors. All 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths are conveniently located on the main level. The spacious primary suite features original wood floors, a decorative fireplace, adjoining dressing/sitting room, laundry room with storage shelving, and a large en-suite bath with walk-in closet. Wood built-ins in the second and third bedrooms, along with a clawfoot tub in the hall bath, are just a few of the distinctive details found throughout. Upstairs, an oak plank ceiling and abundant eave storage creates even more flexible space for a bonus room, office, guest retreat, or other use. Please note: The second level (344 Sq. Ft.) is not included in the advertised heated square footage or bedroom count due to ceiling height. Recent crawlspace encapsulation and added structural supports provide added peace of mind. Full of personality and rooted in Mebane's history, this rare opportunity combines more than a century of character with thoughtful improvements and an unbeatable setting, making it a truly special place to call home.
