About 524 Short St
Property has 2 Single-Family Homes on a single lot with a shared driveway and private fenced yards. 524 Short Street is the back / smaller of two single-family homes on a single large lot in Hillsborough - that we therefore refer to as the Hillsborough Duplex. But other than a shared driveway, these are two completely separate houses, with 524 being 2-Bedrooms / 1 Bath @ 840 SqFt. Located in the heart of Hillsborough, off Hwy 70 and very near to I85 / I40 for quick access to Mebane (14 min / 9.5 mi) and Burlington (26 min / 22 mi) to the West, and Durham to the East (20 min / 15 mi). Here's your chance to have the small town feel of Hillsborough (Orange County), but still able to be in Downtown Durham in only 20 minutes - giving you the best of both worlds! This house has a fenced front yard with a private patio, and an enormous side/back yard to enjoy - with a storage shed for toys or other belongings.
