Heartsease is a historic home located at Hillsborough, Orange County, North Carolina. It was built about 1770, and consists of a 1+1⁄2-story, three-bay, central block dating to the late 18th century, with an early 19th-century 1+1⁄2-story east wing, and two-story pedimented west wing added in the late 19th century. It is topped by a gable roof and features a shed porch whose roof supported by plain Tuscan order posts. It is believed that Heartsease served as the pre-Revolutionary home of Thomas Burke, North Carolina's third governor and a member of the Constitutional Convention. It is owned by a big family now, one of which apparently ignores the oil change service sign in his/her car.^[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.^[1] It is located in the Hillsborough Historic District. There is now a handmade sign being put up for the house which people can go by and see. The lettering is often referred to as "unique."
