About the host
Hosted by Susan Montpetit
We love being hosts to introduce more people to our quaint corner of the world in Hillsborough, NC. Enjoy the charm as much as we do. From the centuries of history along the Eno River to today's top restaurants on Churton Street, it's all here for you to explore and enjoy.
Why they chose this property
The ancient trees attracted us to Hillsborough, NC; yet, having an opportunity like this, to be the steward of a unique carriage house that's part of the 100+ Hillsborough homes on the National Historic Register, is something that rare. You'll find the Saturday Farmers market, Last Friday's Makers Market, garden tours, poets walk and so many more offerings throughout the year to enjoy.
What makes this property unique
This is a slice of antiquity with this structure's original purpose as a true carriage house. Originally constructed in 1879, with the kitchen added in the early 1900's to then make it habitable (as cars became the norm); this home is walkable to town (0.8miles to Cup-A-Joe and Matthews Chocolates). This home is quietly tucked away; and still close enough to enjoy all of the restaurants.
