About this property

House on the Hill! Large well-kept family home in cutest town in North Carolina

Well-kept home located in downtown historic Hillsborough. Walk to all the shops and restaurants on Churton Street, or the lovely Riverwalk or Gold Park in 10 minutes. Drive to Durham or Chapel Hill in 15 minutes. Home has new screened in back porch looking out over large, 1 acre private yard with vegetable and herb garden you are welcome to use. Great for families, includes kid’s rooms and toys. Kitchen outfitted with quality cooking utensils. Master bath includes jacuzzi-style tub. We recognize listings likely have little or no reviews. We have not rented it in a few years and only rent this house out a few times a year when we do. We have had multiple very happy renters, frequently stay in and professionally manage other short and long-term rentals so rest assured the highest standards are ensured.

If you are exploring the larger area and are wondering why you should chose Hillsborough over Durham, Chapel Hill or Raleigh, these are the reasons. This is the most walkable and historic small town in NC while still having high end grocery stores and restaurants. The other towns are much larger and not as quaint. This is not the town for a bachelor party but for anyone who wants a quality life experience, this will be the perfect place for you. We are real people who have lived here for 10 years and this is not AI generated. we will provide you with all local details you want to have the best experience to include: restaurants, live music recommendations, best running/hiking trails or playgrounds, pick up soccer games, area farms for berry picking, fishing spots and anything else you need. We love our life here and enjoy sharing it with others!

What makes this property unique

Please Note: This is our home and we live here when we are not renting it out through Airbnb. As such, some of our things will still be around, in closets and cupboards. We will ensure that the master bedroom and queen bedroom both have one empty, cleaned-out closet for your use. The master bath will have an empty, cleaned-out cupboard for your items. We will provide an empty cupboard in the kitchen for you to keep your own food in and will clean out the refrigerator of everything other than condiments. We will do a thorough deep cleaning prior to your arrival and clear away all our clutter (the pictures reflect the condition in which you'll find the house!) but please understand that this is not a second home devoted exclusively to Airbnb. We just want to be up front about this so that you have a pleasant stay!
