314 W Queen St Hillsborough, NC 27278

In the heart of downtown Hillsborough's Historic District, 314 W. Queen Street places you just steps from the landmarks and gathering places that define this community, including the Burwell School Historic Site, Orange County Historical Museum, and the restaurants and festivals that bring downtown to life. This century-old cottage stands at 314 W. Queen Street in Hillsborough ready for its next hundred years of memories. The charm starts from the moment you step through the picket fence and onto the wide front porch boasting a mountain ridgeline view. The classic wooden screen door swings open with the promise of something special just beyond. Step in to find charming character such as hardwood floors throughout and cottage style details. The kitchen has been elevated with granite countertops, refreshed cabinetry, new sink and faucet, and is both bright and comfortable. This perfect workspace for your culinary delights is open to a breakfast bar and a spacious dining area creating a hearth room type atmosphere for everyone to gather. Split bedrooms offer privacy for family and friends alike. The front bedroom has charming built-in bookshelves, ample closet space, a Mountain view, and access to a secret hideaway - an upstairs nook tucked under the eves reached by a wooden ladder. Finished living space ready for you to create your perfect retreat. At the rear of the home you'll find the tranquility of a primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and en suite bath. Updates include fresh interior paint, polished hardwoods, new ceiling sheetrock in the living room and second bedroom, three newly installed ceiling fans, new bathroom vanities, and a brand-new HVAC system to ensure daily comfort. Behind the charm lies serious investment in infrastructure. The crawlspace has a new vapor barrier. Structural supports have been repaired and reinforced, including sill replacement and added dining room support pillars with floor leveling. A curtain drain was installed to direct water safely away from the home. The driveway was rebuilt and finished with gravel, and the landscaping has been completely reimagined with major tree trimming, new trees lining the drive, fresh lawn installation, shrubs, and a slate front walk. With its historic character preserved, its systems thoughtfully improved, and downtown Hillsborough just outside your door, you've been offered the rare opportunity to live in the center of it all while enjoying the comfort and confidence of a home that has already been carefully prepared for its next chapter.
