204 Nash St Hillsborough, NC 27278

Listing details for 204 Nash St, Hillsborough, NC 27278 : Tucked away behind evergreen trees and shrubbery in the beloved Hillsborough Historic District, this property offers an intersection of timeless aesthetic character and uncompromising modern engineering. Custom-built in 2011 by a local contractor for his own residence and meticulously refined and updated by the current owners, this turnkey property delivers a gold standard of quality craftsmanship, premium custom finishes and lifestyle utility. The two-story cedar sided 1,888-square-foot primary residence is thoughtfully laid out - from the freshly refinished wrap-around front porch, through the living room and dining rooms to the kitchen, there is an easy flow that feels like an open floorplan yet offers distinct spaces. The fully updated kitchen, designed by people who love to cook, is outfitted with custom cabinetry, marble countertops and a six-burner Dacor gas range with a high-end ventilation system, all supported by a slate-tiled combination butler's pantry and laundry along with a secondary pantry featuring custom and adjustable storage. The main floor has a full bathroom and two bedrooms, currently offices, one with a queen size murphy bed built in. Upstairs, the cathedral- ceiling primary bedroom leads to a spacious bath featuring both a marble tiled shower and classic clawfoot cast iron soaking tub. The closet has been fitted with custom cherry wood floor to ceiling built-ins. The primary suite includes a versatile secondary room, ideal for a sitting area or an office. Premium finishes throughout the home emphasize the thoughtful and attentive upkeep as well as the careful original engineering and craftsmanship. From the newly refinished oak floors with inlaid designs, to the custom moldings, high-end fixtures, cedar lined closets and fully encapsulated crawlspace with temperature-controlled wine storage, everything speaks quality. The half-acre lot has custom privacy fencing and is meticulously landscaped. But the Big Surprise?? The large lot size accommodates a remarkable secondary asset: behind the house you'll find a detached auxiliary building, fully insulated with heat and air conditioning in the main area plus another separate AC unit in a further enclosed area. While currently being used for vehicle storage and an artisan wine making studio, this highly adaptable space represents an exceedingly rare premium in the Historic District—offering the structural foundation to potentially be transformed into any number of uses with the appropriate modifications. Do you need a private executive office? maybe a dedicated wellness retreat? perhaps an artist's studio? even a potential accessory dwelling unit (ADU) or what works best for your needs? From the front door, it is a short stroll or roll to the vibrant West Hillsborough corridor with a wood fired pizzeria, a BBQ restaurant, frozen custard shop, yoga studio, a brew pub and more, and only a few minutes in a different direction to all the historic charm of downtown Hillsborough's Churton Street restaurants and shops, art galleries, Weaver Street Market, and the Eno River Farmer's market. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the neighborhood Turnip Patch Park, the Hillsborough River Walk, Occoneechee Mountain State Park and Ayr Mount, all so near. The county Sportsplex - with an Olympic size salt water pool, an ice rink, weight rooms, and fitness classes - is also nearby. Chapel Hill, Durham, and other regional hubs are 25 to 35 minutes away, and Raleigh-Durham International Airport is within 30 minutes. 204 N Nash Street, a rare find in historic Hillsborough, offering exceptional quality, timeless aesthetics, and premium lifestyle utility, is ready now for its next chapter.
