    What's special

    Gas log fireplaceScreened porchNew roofOutdoor kitchen
    Set on more than 1.5 acres in Fox Hill Farm, this Hillsborough home offers a little more sky, a few more trees, and plenty of room to spread out. Built in 2002 and surrounded by a mix of open yard and mature woods, it's the perfect spot for anyone who enjoys a little elbow room without giving up convenience. Inside, you'll find 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and plenty of flexibility to fit the way you live. The current owners use the third floor as a bedroom and the bonus room on the second floor as a family room, giving you options for sleeping, lounging, working, or hosting guests. Whether you need extra bedrooms, a media room, a playroom, or a home office, this floor plan is happy to accommodate. The kitchen was beautifully renovated in 2023 and serves as the heart of the home, where recipes, celebrations, and family traditions all seem to find their way. Step outside and you'll discover what may become your favorite "room" of the house. The screened porch, deck, and outdoor kitchen were all added in 2023 and create an outdoor living space that's ready for everything from oyster roasts and birthday parties to lazy Sunday afternoons. Under the patio lights, fire up the grill, and suddenly you'll be volunteering to host every family gathering. When the weather cools down, the gas log fireplace is ready to keep things cozy. With a new roof and HVAC upgrades in 2023, the home's cul-de-sac location provides an extra measure of privacy and peace. Best of all, you're close to everything: just 8 minutes to downtown Hillsborough, 20 minutes to downtown Durham, 5 minutes to groceries, and about 30 minutes to RDU Airport. Far enough from the hustle to hear the birds, close enough that a forgotten gallon of milk isn't a major expedition. This is the kind of home where memories are made; one backyard gathering, holiday meal, and quiet evening under the stars at a time.
