Set on a quiet cul-de-sac just 1.5 miles from Hillsborough’s historic core, 166 Daphine Drive is a thoughtfully designed new construction home on a private lot. While built as a spec home, it was approached with the same level of consideration as a custom project, resulting in a plan that feels both intentional and easy to live in.
A covered breezeway connects the home to the two-car garage, creating a functional transition space that also shapes the overall layout. It adds a layer of separation and flow that’s often missing in more conventional plans.
The kitchen sits at the center of the home, opening directly to the dining and living areas to create one continuous space. Streamlined cabinetry, stone countertops, and a gas range keep the palette simple and durable, while site-finished hardwood floors run throughout for a cohesive feel. Tile selections and installation were handled with the same level of care, adding subtle detail without overwhelming the spaces.
The plan offers flexibility without feeling overcomplicated. Two primary suites allow for a range of living arrangements, including multi-generational use. The main-level primary suite is set apart for privacy, with vaulted ceilings and skylights that bring in consistent natural light. A second main-level bedroom—currently used as an office—is paired with a nearby full bath featuring a zero-entry shower.
Upstairs, two loft spaces provide room to spread out—whether for work, reading, or casual living—along with a second primary suite that continues the home’s clean, modern approach.
Front and rear decks extend the living space outdoors, making it easy to move between inside and out. The home is part of a small group of neighboring houses designed by the same architect—each distinct, but related in scale and approach, and each responding to its specific site. It’s an uncommon level of continuity for new construction in the area, giving the neighborhood a cohesive feel without repetition.
