Property details

About 524 N Occoneechee St

An amazing opportunity to benefit from the current owners' move to a new state for work. They just recently finished a full interior renovation and freshly painted the exterior on their Hillsborough dream in the corner of the historic district—a home on almost a full acre, park-like lot in very close proximity to downtown and the trails. Step inside to discover an interior that opens into soaring cathedral ceilings. The shiny new kitchen includes Bosch appliances-induction range, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator-quartz countertops and generous storage with all new cabinets. A new hardwood floor in the main floor living area. A walk-in closet was added to the primary bedroom. An upstairs loft offers two areas of abundant storage, great for an office or studio or potential conversion to a third bedroom. The entire interior has fresh Benjamin Moore paint. The ground floor is light and bright with a walkout slider to a patio and provides space to spread out with a den/family room, bedroom, large bathroom/laundry room combo with granite countertops, walk-in tiled shower w/frameless glass, abundant storage plus a new LG washer and dryer. You'll benefit from the many ''unseen'' updates as well: a Rinnai tankless water heater, new electrical panel, and waterproofing/drainage corrections (with warranty). This special retreat has everything you could want—fresh updates combined with the most amazing location close to everything Hillsborough and an easy drive to Duke, UNC, Elon.....everything Triangle or Triad! This gardener's dream will beautifully reward renewal and care and has been on past Town Garden Tours!
