Sophistication, defined by the written word: the process or result of becoming cultured, experienced, worldy-wise, and/or knowledgeable. Sophistication, visually defined: 518 N. Scottswood Boulevard in Hillsborough’s award-winning Churton Grove. This address speaks volumes on elegance, style, and panache… And the great news is that it’s available for its next lucky owners!

At 4,750 square feet, 518 N. Scottswood Boulevard is a thoughtfully designed home of five bedrooms and four baths on a beautifully wooded half acre lot. A spectacular open foyer, gleaming hardwoods, and soaring ceilings greet residents and guests alike upon arrival. An inviting formal dining room on the right and a study complete with custom bookcases and an adjoining alcove on the left are bordered by stately columns. These spaces are open and airy, yet exude warmth and a feeling of belonging, as they lead to the heart-of-the-home kitchen and light-filled great room with a fabulous stone fireplace and custom bookshelves. A niche for wine storage and refrigeration is adjacent to the epicurean kitchen, which, by the way, includes everything a top notch chef could want: granite countertops, tile backsplash, a walk-in pantry, dual ovens, and a gas cook top. Also flanking the kitchen is a breakfast nook with lovely cabinetry and shelving. A guest room and full bath round out the first floor of this gorgeous home. Last but absolutely not least, beyond the great room, a wonderful screened-in porch and fantastic outdoor kitchen and stone patio/fireplace entertainment area beckon for enjoyable times.

Upstairs houses an additional four bedrooms, including a luxurious owner’s suite. This retreat consists of a spacious bedroom, an adjoining sitting room with a to-die-for three-sided fireplace, a large spa-like owner’s bath with separate his and her sinks, an oversized closet, and a private second floor porch, accessible only by the owner’s suite. This secluded porch is perfect for an early morning cup of coffee or relaxing evening glass of wine. Outside of the owner’s suite is a loft area overlooking the great room. This versatile area can be used as family gathering space or as a play area for the kids. The other three bedrooms and two full baths upstairs are abundant in size and storage.

The exterior of 518 N. Scottswood is a masterful combination of brick, stone, and fiber cement, all harmonizing to welcome and delight anyone and everyone upon approach. The lushly wooded homesite emanates a quiet, park-like setting, enhanced by a fenced-in backyard and the previously mentioned outdoor kitchen and fireplace entertaining area.

“This home is loaded with features,” says Broker Michael Cashion of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices York Simpson Underwood Realty. “Priced at $569,900, it’s less than $120/square foot, which is totally unheard of in a home with these amenities. Besides the fact that it’s an incredibly stunning and well-designed home, it’s located in a truly terrific neighborhood. Churton Grove provides home owners with an Olympic-sized pool, a clubhouse, tennis and basketball courts, sidewalks, five miles of hiking and biking trails, and a grocery store, restaurants, and other retail within walking distance. The neighborhood is close to Highway 70, I-85, and I-40, allowing easy accessibility to Chapel Hill, Durham, RTP, and the airport, with charming downtown Hillsborough just minutes away. The next owners of 518 N. Scottswood will get tremendous value for their money.”
