What This House Offers
Property has 2 Single-Family Homes on a single lot with a shared driveway and private fenced yards.
528 Short Street is the front / larger of two single-family... homes on a single large lot in Hillsborough - that we therefore refer to as the Hillsborough Duplex. But other than a shared driveway, these are two completely separate houses, with 528 being 3-Bedrooms / 1 Bath @ 1,102 SqFt. Located in the heart of Hillsborough, off Hwy 70 and very near to I85 / I40 for quick access to Mebane (14 min / 9.5 mi) and Burlington (26 min / 22 mi) to the West, and Durham to the East (20 min / 15 mi). Here's your chance to have the small town feel of Hillsborough (Orange County), but still able to be in Downtown Durham in only 20 minutes - giving you the best of both worlds!
This house has an enormous fenced front yard with a private patio and a sunroom with a small rear deck leading to the shared backyard. On the side of the house is a door to stairs leading up to the attic, which can be used for additional storage. Each of the three bedrooms has a ceiling fan and there is vinyl tile flooring throughout (no carpet).
