Property Description
Welcome to Cedar Hills! A truly one-of-a-kind Hillsborough property where timeless charm, modern updates, and an unbeatable location come together beautifully. Nestled on a private 1.5-acre lot just a half-mile from the heart of Downtown Hillsborough, this enchanting Cape Cod residence offers direct access to the scenic Riverwalk and greenway right from the back of the property, creating a rare opportunity to enjoy both peaceful privacy and walkable convenience. Marked by the charming stone entry monuments bearing the name "Cedar Hills," this beloved property exudes character from the moment you arrive. A circular driveway and rocking-chair front porch welcome you home, setting the stage for the warmth and charm found throughout. Thoughtfully and extensively renovated, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home seamlessly blends classic style with modern comforts. Gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout the main living areas, while beautifully updated kitchens and bathrooms offer timeless finishes and exceptional craftsmanship. The spacious floor plan includes two bedrooms on the main level, including a serene primary suite designed for comfort and convenience. At the heart of the home, the beautifully updated kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring modern white cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, and bar seating. A charming farmhouse sink overlooks the private backyard, bringing natural light and picturesque views into the space. Just steps away, the dining room offers built-in cabinetry with a coordinating tile backsplash - perfectly suited for a coffee bar, beverage station, or additional serving space when entertaining. The primary retreat features a spa-inspired en-suite bath complete with dual vanities, stunning clawfoot soaking tub, and a spacious zero-entry walk-in shower with frameless glass enclosure, creating a luxurious space to relax and unwind. Secondary bedrooms are generously sized, and each offers excellent closet space and flexibility for guests, family, or a home office. Outdoor living is equally impressive. The private fenced backyard offers plenty of room to play, garden, or entertain, while the expansive patio with a fire pit creates the perfect setting for gathering with friends and family beneath the Carolina sky. Mature trees provide a picturesque backdrop while still preserving the openness and usability of the flat lot. One of the home's most extraordinary features is its location. Step out your back door and connect directly to the greenway leading into Downtown Hillsborough, where you'll enjoy award-winning restaurants, local shops, galleries, coffee houses, and year-round community events. With easy access to I-85 and I-40, commuting to Durham, Chapel Hill, and beyond is effortless while still allowing you to enjoy the charm and pace that make Hillsborough so beloved. Rich in character, beautifully updated, and perfectly positioned, Cedar Hills is more than a home - it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hillsborough charm unlike anything else on the market.
