Property Description
Step into history and charm at ''The Jerry Alston House,'' a timeless residence built in 1900. From the moment you enter, you'll be captivated by the family room's warm embrace, with its wooden-beamed ceiling and wood-burning fireplace framed by a stone hearth. The wide-plank pine floors guide you through the main level, leading to spaces steeped in character and grace. Imagine spending quiet afternoons on the covered hip-roof front porch, its porch swing the perfect spot to take in the beauty of the 1.82-acre lot, complete with a flourishing array of fruits, herbs, and flowers.
Inside, the home's heritage is seamlessly balanced with thoughtful modern upgrades. Original upstairs hardwood floors, secured with hand-forged nails, recall the craftsmanship of yesteryear, while the first-floor remodel by local designer Rosy Alexander brings an air of elegance and functionality. The remodeled kitchen dazzles with aged wood shelving, brass fixtures, leathered marble countertops, and a custom-built stove hood. A touch of rustic lime wash, custom grout, and a charming spice shelf above the backsplash complete the space, designed for both beauty and ease of use.
Beyond the main house, the 420-square-foot wired barn offers a world of possibilities—perfect for a hobbyist, artist, or fitness enthusiast. You'll also find fenced and gated raised garden beds, fenced and gated patios, chicken coops, a chicken run, a dog run, and mostly fenced land, creating a versatile outdoor space. The primary suite on the main floor includes a walk-in shower and closet, while the home's original stained glass windows lend an artistic touch to the front door, the primary closet, the primary bath, and the upstairs bath.
Modern touches are woven seamlessly into the historic charm, from Crate and Barrel light fixtures and remote-controlled nightlight pendants to vintage finds and antique hardware reproductions from the Charleston Hardware Company. Every detail, down to the slim shoe storage in the entryway and the work-from-home corner in the primary bedroom, has been carefully curated for a perfect blend of vintage and modern.
Located just 7 minutes from downtown Pittsboro, and with easy access to UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke University, Raleigh-Durham International Airport, and Research Triangle Park, this home is a rare find—offering a tranquil retreat without sacrificing convenience. The Jerry Alston House is truly a work of art waiting to welcome its next chapter.
