Home Description
Close your eyes and imagine living in Orange County's Happening Historic Hillsborough in a distinctive, delightful dwelling with vintage charm. Add a sweeping lawn and perennial gardens about to pop with color plus the sights and sounds of the celebrated Eno River in plain view. Your dream can now come true with The Cole House circa 1906 built for Arthur Cleveland Cole, the first Pontiac dealer in town! It is thoughfully updated by its current owners who took great care to mix the renovated, expanded kitchen with wonderful one of a kind views and an enlarged primary bath that is as pretty is as pretty does. Charismatic red camellias flank the original front door and welcome you in to a gracious foyer, period staircase and large yet cozy living room complete with restored romantic gas fireplace. Separate dining collaborates beautifully with the screened porch (probably hard to guess how many glasses of sweet tea have been served there since 1906!) Just off dining is a perfect TV/Media parlor or study. A main level bedroom, currently yoga/workout room with full bath and separate laundry is handy for guests and 'one level living'. The large well-appointed kitchen has plenty of room to eat breakfast, watch the chef, do Wordle...or play Hillsboroughopoly. Open to kitchen is the friendly family room with mesmerizing views of the water glistening by the banks of the Eno. Ascend the graceful staircase to the hall library with a window seat and built-in bookcases, a large light-filled bedroom with a classic set of windows, an office also once used as bedroom and the perfect primary bedroom with a private aerie-like high deck awaiting the next gala whether a hootenany, a waltz accompanied by a string quartet, or a party for one with a book, a glass of bubbly and THE VIEW! The basemnt level is heated/cooled and boasts a sauna room with door to the outside in case you want to dip your toes in the Eno and a separate workshop with exterior access, now hostessing sewing activities.
There is lot to love here & some say it's one of the best lots in town: WATERFRONT. Come visit, see for yourself and dream a liitle dream with us.
