This charming, custom-built Craftsman bungalow in sought-after West Hillsborough was thoughtfully designed and built in 2020 with a timeless nod to 1930s architecture and executed to the highest of standards. The 3BR, 2.5BA home offers 1,753 sf of beautifully curated living space. Opportunity abounds as the .25-acre lot offers the flexibility of adding a detached garage with ADU above. Initial plans have been drawn up for this option and are available for review. The open-concept main level features abundant natural light from oversized and transom windows, highlighting rich hardwood floors and classic design elements throughout. The living, dining, and kitchen areas flow seamlessly, anchored by a well-appointed kitchen with quartz countertops, gas range and custom pantry. The main-level owner's suite provides a private retreat with a custom walk-in closet and a luxurious spa-inspired bath. Enjoy a stunning tiled wet room with soaking tub and shower, double vanities, and ample built-in storage. Thoughtful details continue throughout the home, including built-in bookcases, a convenient main-level half bath, and a laundry area with stackable washer/dryer and additional storage. Upstairs you'll find a cozy landing nook that lends itself to a sunny home office space, two additional bedrooms with custom closets, a full bath, additional built-in shelving and attic storage access. Designed to take advantage of North Carolina's changing seasons, the home includes a welcoming front porch that's deep enough to accommodate a crowd and an incredible screened-in back porch featuring a vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, and polished concrete floors. A backyard fire pit is ready for under-the-stars entertaining. These well-considered and serene outdoor living spaces are few and far between in the small downtown district. Additional highlights include a tankless water heater, all-electric systems with propane for the gas range, and quality craftsmanship throughout. And the location? It couldn't be better.
