About this home
Peaceful Ranch Retreat on Over an Acre! Trade the hustle and bustle for wide-open sky and total tranquility! This well-maintained, all-brick ranch offers timeless durability and low-maintenance living on a private 1.06-acre lot just outside historic Hillsborough. With 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, and easy single-level living, it's a smart, comfortable fit for downsizing or aging in place. Accessibility was clearly a priority, a wheelchair ramp welcomes you home, and a bathroom features a folding shower bench and grab rails that offer extra security. Step outside and breathe deep, mature trees, open space, and quiet country air create a true retreat feel. A spacious shed adds fantastic bonus storage for tools, hobbies, or a workshop. Enjoy easy access to Hillsborough's charming downtown for boutique shopping, local dining, and the scenic Eno River trails, plus nearby grocery options including Food Lion and Harris Teeter for effortless errands. Duke, Durham, and Chapel Hill are all a quick drive away for medical care, entertainment, and more. This is small-town peace with big-city access, solid, brick-built, and move-in ready. Come see it for yourself!
