Yes, your eyes are deceiving you. At first glance, this sweet 1950s split-ranch brick house looks like a modest-sized property. Step inside, though, and you'll be amazed at how much space and flexibility it offers. Plus, with a separate building housing a 896 sq ft ADU upstairs and a 546 sq ft office/studio space on the ground floor, this property promises room to spread out and a second (or third) revenue stream, all with the accessibility and charms of being in Hillsborough's Historic District. In the main home, a wide open living space and an adjacent modern kitchen are designed for multiple uses - for large gatherings with friends and family or for cozier get-togethers around the gas fireplace. The updated kitchen includes a generous island with countertop seating and pendant lighting, marble tile backsplash, walk-in pantry, new cabinet drawer fronts, and quartz countertops. For more formal meals, there's a dedicated dining room with a tray ceiling; the street-facing space with a picture window could also be repurposed as a morning yoga spot or kids' play space. Hardwoods and LVP throughout the main floor provide beauty and practicality in equal measure. Down the hall, a huge family room, with a full bath and a wood-burning stove, is as adaptable as your imagination-as a man cave, she shed, play-and-crafts space, or as an In-Law suite and is accessible from inside or outside the home. The main level includes three bedrooms and a shared bath with black-and-white subway tiles. You'll also find a dedicated laundry room with a side by side washer and dryer and generous storage cabinets. Upstairs, the massive carpeted primary bedroom includes a private east-facing balcony for watching the sunrise with coffee, two walk-in closets, and a spa-like bathroom that features a soaking tub, double vanities, and yet-another walk-in closet. There's room for everything! Beyond the covered carport the freestanding ADU has Hardie Plank siding and a new roof. Upstairs there's a carpeted 2-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment that feels roomy, with a large living space, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and in-unit laundry. Downstairs, a separate studio with LVP flooring, full bath, fridge, dishwasher, and stackable W/D could be used by the owners as a home office or rented out as an artist studio or co-workspace. Through a separate outside entrance, there's a small workshop with concrete flooring. Plenty of off-street parking ensures easy access to and from the home. With its enviable location in Hillsborough's Historic District, myriad ways to use and adapt the space, and income-generating opportunities afforded by the separate ADU and office space, 207 & 209 W Corbin Street offers turnkey ready, customizable options for savvy buyers. Come see it today!

This one sits tucked right into a rare and coveted location in the center of Hillsborough's Historic District — close to downtown, the shops, the library, the parks and trails that make this town so beloved; everything you need is just minutes away. The current owners bought the home in 2021 and began working on an impressive suite of upgrades. Hardwood floors and tile replaced vinyl flooring; a walk-in pantry replaced the old washing machine nook in the kitchen; a stackable W/D unit was installed in one of the three bedrooms, repurposing it as an office and laundry space. The real showstopper? A brand-new 190 SF screened-in porch, built with exposed rafters and a gorgeous tongue-and-groove ceiling. Fully wired, this outdoor room expands the living space for most of the year and brings a taste of the mountains into the heart of town. The sellers also invested in the often-overlooked places that really matter, including a catch basin and swale to divert water from the foundation, and a new full vapor barrier and dehumidifier in the crawlspace. Outside, a lovely yard filled with established perennials and a garden shed for all your tools and toys — plenty of room to putter, plant, and enjoy. This home has been meticulously cared for and thoughtfully improved, and the .28-acre lot offers room to dream. Move in and enjoy it as-is, or use the extra land to expand for years to come. Homes like this — in this location, at this price — are in short supply and simply don't come along often.
