One can scarcely turn around in central North Carolina these days without bumping into something brand new: new construction, new questionable traffic patterns, new self-storage (So. Much. New. Self. Storage). So the next time you feel like running for the Hills... do it! (HILLSborough, that is). 2800 Becketts Ridge Drive offers the best of both worlds: modern comfort and amenities on a large and very private lot that evokes the quiet country life of years past. You`ll find more than half an acre waiting for you, ringed by greenery and fully fenced in the back. Past the stunning Japanese Maple that greets you upon arrival, the side entry gate opens, revealing a New Orleans-inspired brick patio adorned with twinkle lights, thriving garden beds flush with plump red tomatoes and mature fruit trees. This former model home, built in 1999, has been artfully updated with fresh paint, custom kitchen islands, appliances, lighting, a new roof in 2020 and tankless water heater in 2024. You`ll find a floor plan with ample space to grow -- and then keep growing! Four spacious bedrooms, plus a first-floor office with French doors, PLUS a third-floor flex/bonus, eat-in kitchen, separate formal dining room and open-concept family room make this layout suitable for, well, just about anything. The oversized two-car garage with 13` ceilings is high enough to accommodate a lift or other specialized equipment, and the expanded driveway parking pad lends flexibility to multi-vehicle households or frequent guests. Over two centuries ago, in 1786, early settler Jesse Benton wrote of this area of Hillsborough, ``I have made here a farm...which produces very well. The most Pleasantest & beautiful situation in Orange, a high place with a clean and pretty soil for a Yard & Garden.`` Jesse would no doubt be delighted today to see that some things haven`t changed.
