Built in 1922, this home strikes that rare balance between preserving its original character and embracing thoughtful updates. Nothing here feels rushed or trendy. This isn't a fix-and-flip, but a home that has been carefully improved while keeping the details that make older homes special. Located just outside the Hillsborough town limits, you'll enjoy the benefit of county taxes while remaining just minutes from everything the area has to offer. Inside, original and reclaimed hardwood floors, bead board walls and ceilings, and abundant natural light create a warm, inviting feel. The home offers two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a dedicated office, giving you flexibility whether you're working from home, hosting guests, or simply looking for a little extra space just for you. The kitchen is equipped with gas cooking and newer appliances, including the refrigerator, stove, stackable washer and dryer, and vent hood. A 2023 HVAC system with a dehumidifier, a low-maintenance metal roof, and high-speed internet bring modern convenience without sacrificing the home's historic appeal. Outside, the nearly one-acre property offers room to breathe. Mostly fenced and bordered by woods on the side and rear, the setting feels private and peaceful. Enjoy your morning coffee from the rocking chair front porch, spend evenings with the sounds of nature on the brick patio, or tend the raised garden beds already populated with blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. A perennial garden, storage shed, and parking for three vehicles complete the property. Rare is a word that's often overused in real estate, but it fits here. A tastefully updated 100+ year old bungalow with so much original character, situated on nearly an acre of land, with county taxes, and a price that's increasingly difficult to find in today's market is a combination that doesn't come along often.
