Home Description

Windows let morning light into the owner's retreat, while a door opening to the screened-in porch ushers in birdsong. Prepare for the day in the spacious primary bathroom — double sinks, private w/c, walk-in shower with frameless glass enclosure. Take breakfast at the granite-topped kitchen island or on the back porch, where your small pet can join you via its own private door. The fenced back yard faces a quiet greenbelt. From your front porch, you can enjoy your own and your neighbors' meticulously tended flower gardens. Indoors, the high ceilings, hardwood floors, and open floor plan create a bright and inviting space. Custom shades and plantation shutters allow sunshine when you want it, shade when you don't. Two guest bedrooms— one upstairs, one down — have adjoining full baths for privacy. The huge upstairs bonus room includes a study nook; the downstairs has an office or den with French doors. There's more: walk-in pantry, downstairs laundry, gas fireplace, under-cabinet lighting, crown molding, farmhouse sink, drop zone, outdoor patio, and epoxy flooring in garage. Seven closets and a walk-in attic provide more storage than usual for homes of this size, and an extra-long driveway allows for lots of guest parking. Four retired CPAs on the finance committee guard the community's finances. One-third of all HOA dues goes into Reserves for capital expenditures, including painting the exteriors of all 69 homes at ten-year intervals, replacing roofs after twenty years or so, and maintaining a wealth of community amenities. You can tend a vegetable plot in the fenced community garden; let your dog run in the spacious dog park; work out in the clubhouse exercise room; or wander the private, shaded trails of the 12-acre perimeter greenbelt. One thing you won't have to do is mow the lawn — a landscaping company takes care of all turf maintenance. Residents can enjoy book club, wine club, card games, or men's coffee at the clubhouse. Join your neighbors at the fire pit on Friday evenings; stroll downtown to the Farmer's Market on Saturday morning. Hillsborough is a small town with a growing number of fine restaurants, quirky shops, and a vibrant downtown. World-class medical care (Duke, UNC) are only minutes away by car. Corbinton Commons is an active adult community, where 80% of homes must be owned by someone 55 or older, but there is still plenty of room for people under the age of 55!
