What if every day felt like the weekend? Beneath a canopy of mature trees this one-of-a-kind retreat brings the feeling of the Blue Ridge Mountains to Hillsborough. From the lodge-inspired cedar siding to the many amenities throughout, this best-of-both-worlds home combines cozy vacation vibes with the space, comfort, and peace of mind that come with a well-maintained modern home. The current owners purchased the property at the height of COVID in 2020 and set about turning it into their ideal retreat Three floors of thoughtful spaces pack a big punch and continue the vacation-home vibe. The deep front porch is the perfect perch for porch swings, a guitar and an afternoon of acoustic tunes. Just off the front hall, french doors open to a home office, but an adjacent full bath (complete with clawfoot tub) and generous closet allow the room to be used as main-floor sleeping quarters. Across from the bedroom, a library lined with built-in bookshelves is an ideal spot for reading, playing games and enjoying good conversation. Though the home sits on a wooded lot, skylights with retractable shades flood the adjoining living room with natural light. Designed to optimize good flow, this room connects to the kitchen and library, and glass doors open to the back deck. A wood-burning fireplace reinforces the feeling of timeless retreat. The refreshed kitchen features a new tile backsplash, granite countertops, new slate-style floor tiles, a beverage refrigerator, new sink and refrigerator, a reach-in pantry, and ample eat-in space that includes both a dining table and island seating. Doors off the kitchen and living room open to extended outdoor living, including a large, wraparound deck for al fresco dinners, a pea gravel patio and terraced garden beds, all within a fully-fenced backyard. An above-ground pool can remain for the next owners or be removed. Upstairs, two large bedrooms share a spacious full bath, and include skylights that brighten the rooms while providing the most incredible daytime view to the treetops and nighttime view of the stars. The laundry closet is conveniently located on this level. On the lower level, the walk-out basement was professionally waterproofed with an advanced membrane system, creating dry, comfortable living spaces that provide a myriad of work-and-play opportunities, from a home gym or workshop to lounge space, an extra office or cave-like sleeping area, project spaces, a mudroom, and perhaps even all of the above. Sliding glass doors open onto a private concrete patio. Nestled just a few miles east of downtown Hillsborough and a few miles west of I-85 and Durham, just minutes from the vibrant shopping, dining, and cultural highlights of the region, 3219 Seven Springs is the convenient retreat you've been waiting for.
