About 298 E Salisbury Street
Offered for the first time in 40 years, the historic Thomas Hackney House (c. 1899), recognized in The Architectural Heritage of Chatham County, is a rare opportunity just three blocks from downtown Pittsboro's shops and restaurants. Situated on a secluded 0.4-acre lot shaded by mature hardwoods, this timeless bright house offers approximately 2,100 square feet with 2 bedrooms plus a spacious office/studio that can easily serve as a third bedroom, 2 full baths, soaring 10' ceilings, a formal parlor with fireplace, library, and beautiful original heart pine craftsmanship throughout. Expansive 40' front porch, screened side porch, custom two-car garage, hand-dug well, natural gas, whole-house fan, large floored attic, and numerous original architectural details preserve the home's historic character. Zoned for residential use with potential commercial rezoning (buyer to verify). A truly one-of-a-kind property combining walkable downtown convenience with exceptional privacy and a legacy built to last.
