Along Millstone River Road in Hillsborough, The Peter Nevius House epitomizes architectural evolution and careful preservation. Built in the early 18th century as a modest structure, it has since become a model of adaptive home design, maintaining its antique charm while incorporating modern amenities. Notable features include pointed gables, dormer windows that enhance the silhouette, and deep bay windows with cozy nooks, including two large window seats. The enclosed porch seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living, offering tranquility and a connection to nature. Recent renovations by its dedicated owners have kept the historical integrity intact, with updates to the kitchen and bathrooms, and refinishing of many wood floors. Additions such as a new roof and fresh exterior paint demonstrate a commitment to preservation. The spacious layout includes a dining room, a large living room with a fireplace, and a family room, also with a fireplace. The kitchen features a Dacor cooktop on an expansive island, extensive cabinetry, and a charming adjoining breakfast nook. Upstairs, five bedrooms, all with ample closets and two luxuriously renovated bathrooms, continue the home's characterful narrative, with original pumpkin pine flooring in two rooms. An outbuilding, fully usable year-round, was converted into a gym but would make a great home office as well, and a circular driveway enhances the property's functionality. This home stands as an ideal choice for historians and beyond
