170 Daphine Drive

Welcome to 170 Daphine - A Hillsborough Gem - Effortlessly Modern and Surrounded by Nature. Situated in a charming, private 9-lot pocket neighborhood on a quiet cul-de-sac in Hillsborough, this gem offers a rare blend of modern elegance and serene living. On a large, sun-soaked lot, the home is bathed in natural light thanks to its many oversized picture windows that perfectly frame the surrounding landscape including a stunning native plant garden in the front yard. Step inside to discover a thoughtfully designed single-level layout that effortlessly combines style, simplicity, and functionality. As you enter, you'll appreciate the practical drop zone with its built-in bench and cubbies, a convenient, out-of-the-way space for coats and shoes. The open-concept living area features soaring ceilings, a spacious living room, and a chef's dream kitchen with a large island, sleek white quartz countertops, and striking modern light fixtures. The adjoining dining area is perfect for hosting dinner parties, casual gatherings, or simply unwinding after a long day. Beautiful light hardwood oak floors flow throughout the main living spaces. With no interior stairs, this home is ideal for all ages, multi-generational households, and those looking to age in place. A wide hallway off the main living area leads to a cozy home office (working from home has never felt so good), an elegant hall bath, a large laundry closet, and two well-appointed bedrooms - one overlooking the backyard, the other the front. At the end of the hallway, the generous primary suite awaits, complete with a huge walk-in closet and a beautiful bathroom featuring a sleek curbless shower. Set on over half an acre, the property offers a young North Carolina native plant garden in front and a large, fenced, level backyard with a grassy area and trees. Beautiful front and back decks invite you to entertain, relax, and soak in the natural beauty and wildlife all around you. Additional unbuilt space on the lot presents exciting potential for a detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or garage. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to Gold Park, the Hillsborough River Walk, Occoneechee Mountain State Park, Ayr Mount, and Eno River State Park - hiking, biking, and scenic strolls are practically at your doorstep. And charming downtown Hillsborough is just minutes away, with its historic charm, restaurants, art galleries, Weaver Street Market, and the beloved Saturday Eno River Farmers Market. The county Sportsplex - with indoor pools, 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. This is the home that has it all: a peaceful retreat in a historic town, thoughtfully modern interiors, room to grow, and effortless access to everything that makes the Triangle such a special place to live. Come see it for yourself -you won't want to leave. With over $55,000 invested in thoughtful upgrades and improvements, this home is move-in ready with nothing left to do but settle in.
