113 Collins Avenue
Hillsborough, NC 27278The Listers will tell you when you should drop everything for a rare bird sighting. So this is your notice: Rara Avis! This sweet little cottage was built in 1901, when roads were dusty and dirt and the surrounding land was farm. Hillsborough has grown up since then, but this little gem still feels quiet and rural, though you can roll/stroll to town, Weaver Street Market, Hillsborough River Walk, the elementary school, and the beloved Village Diner, among many other Hillsborough treasures. This home offers nearly as much outdoor living space as interior, and the yard is chock full of specimen native plants and shrubs, as well as the most charming work studio at the rear of the property. The bedrooms are nicely sized, and the primary includes a sweet little side porch for your morning cuppa. Low maintenance metal roof; gas-pak--2016. Kitchen and bathrooms thoughtfully updated. This may not be a Red-cockaded Woodpecker sighting, but it's nearly as special to call this one home.
