This one sits tucked right into a rare and coveted location in the center of Hillsborough's Historic District — close to downtown, the shops, the library, the parks and trails that make this town so beloved; everything you need is just minutes away. The current owners bought the home in 2021 and began working on an impressive suite of upgrades. Hardwood floors and tile replaced vinyl flooring; a walk-in pantry replaced the old washing machine nook in the kitchen; a stackable W/D unit was installed in one of the three bedrooms, repurposing it as an office and laundry space. The real showstopper? A brand-new 190 SF screened-in porch, built with exposed rafters and a gorgeous tongue-and-groove ceiling. Fully wired, this outdoor room expands the living space for most of the year and brings a taste of the mountains into the heart of town. The sellers also invested in the often-overlooked places that really matter, including a catch basin and swale to divert water from the foundation, and a new full vapor barrier and dehumidifier in the crawlspace. Outside, a lovely yard filled with established perennials and a garden shed for all your tools and toys — plenty of room to putter, plant, and enjoy. This home has been meticulously cared for and thoughtfully improved, and the .28-acre lot offers room to dream. Move in and enjoy it as-is, or use the extra land to expand for years to come. Homes like this — in this location, at this price — are in short supply and simply don't come along often.
