Absolutely beautiful 1927 bungalow in Old West Durham. This catalog house retains its original character including original heart of pine and oak floors, high ceilings, 10-in baseboards, claw foot tub, and original four-over-one windows (distinctive to bungalows in Durham!), while boasting an open floor plan and a spacious, well appointed kitchen renovated in 2001. Neighborhood lore has it that Sadie wrote the original recipe here for the Brunswick Stew sold at nearby Bullock's Barbecue. Screened in front porch is perfect for enjoying this beautiful fall weather & chatting with neighbors as they take their afternoon stroll. Fenced in yard provides additional entertaining or gardening space. 3 blocks from Oval Park & 4-5 blocks from Cocoa Cinnamon, LocoPops, & Quickly Tea House and minutes to Duke, 9th St, and Downtown Durham make this the perfect location. Welcome home.
