About this home
Welcome home to Hardscrabble—one of Hillsborough's most scenic and established neighborhoods, known for large lots, mature hardwoods, peaceful ponds with fountains, tennis courts, pool, and playground. Situated on a beautiful corner lot with a long paved driveway and a fully fenced back yard, this well-maintained home offers flexible living spaces, abundant natural light, and room to grow. Inside, the main level includes a formal dining room with chair and crown molding, a spacious living room with recently restored gas-log fireplace, and a bright, open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, tile floors, pantry, and a sunny bay-window breakfast area. The vaulted sunroom is a true four-season retreat. A main-floor office with French doors also functions as a 4th bedroom, complete with a custom Murphy bed, built-in cabinetry, and locking doors for privacy—ideal for guests, remote work, or multi-generational living. A full bath with a walk-in shower is located nearby. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite includes vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, decorative ledge with lighting, and a large primary bath with dual vanity and jacuzzi tub. Two additional bedrooms share a second full bath, and the expansive bonus room offers endless versatility—recreation, studio, crafts, fitness, or media—with built-in cabinetry, workspace, and a wet-bar area. Storage is abundant: two hallway closets upstairs, laundry on the main floor with exterior access (plus a 2nd washer/dryer hookup upstairs), storage in bonus, two wired storage buildings, and a two-car garage with mounted exercise equipment that conveys and folds up when car space is desired. The covered brick carport includes power and a new ceiling fan (less than 2 years), currently used as a patio space. Recent updates (less than 2 years) include: smart thermostats, new exterior lighting, door hardware throughout, new gutters & downspouts, custom in-ground drainage network, new front & back doors, freshly painted shutters, yard re-seeded, restored gas logs, new faucets in primary & downstairs baths, and newly fenced back yard. Entire yard and exterior have been meticulously cared for. Hardscrabble is quiet, peaceful, and tree-filled, yet convenient to Hillsborough's shopping, dining, parks, and quick access to I-40/85 for an easy commute to Chapel Hill, UNC, Duke, Durham, and Raleigh. With flexible living spaces, a well-designed layout, and beautiful outdoor areas, this home can support a wide range of lifestyles and needs—this one truly feels like home.
