Designed by George Hackney, this 1935 Trinity Park Home clad in clinker brick home features large windows, original trim details and hardwood floors throughout. The open kitchen offers plenty of counter space, stainless steel appliances and a walk-in pantry. The light streams into the rear of the house with kitchen & dining area. Also on the first floor, a cozy den/tv room, and a large living room with decorative fireplace. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms, all of lovely proportion. A flat and private back yard surrounded by mature landscaping is your quiet oasis. It is elevated by a garden house/ADU with a full bathroom. Its a perfect home office or guest cottage, not to mention an ideal place to put out food and a bar for the ultimate elevated garden party! A daylight basement with interior and exterior stairs offers great storage or workshop potential. As the new owner, when you venture out of your charming new home and magical backyard, along the tree-lined sidewalks of one of Durham's most desirable neighborhoods, you're only a block from Duke East Campus with Whole Foods and Ninth just beyond. St Shops beyond. You're an easy walk to the bars and restaurants of the Historic Brightleaf district, and a longer walk or easy bike ride to Durham Central Park & Farmers Market, plus all that Downtown and American Tobacco District have to offer. Don't miss this unique opportunity to buy a piece of history, and make the most of what Durham has to offer!
