Looking for a well-designed house in a truly central Durham location? This one stands out immediately.
The interior of this beauty has been carefully curated. The style lands in that rare space between classic and current. Thoughtful lighting choices, wallpaper accents, and trim work give each room a distinct personality.
You'll find the same careful attention to detail in the practical spaces in this home: the mudroom is organized and sharp. The laundry room is a solid, functional laundry room that also happens to look really good, which is rarer than it should be.
The layout is flexible: there's a first-floor bedroom and full bath, a sunroom filled with natural light, and a walk-through prep pantry connecting the kitchen and dining area. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a separate sitting area that works well as an office or reading space, plus there's a spacious loft that adds another fantastic living area. All of it clean, cared for, and well-maintained.
Out back there's a thoughtfully laid-out composite deck with multiple seating areas, one shaded by a pergola, and a fire pit area that extends naturally into the fenced yard.
Located deep within a one-way-in, one-way-out neighborhood and beside one of two cul-de-sacs, traffic stays local. This 58-home community includes sidewalks throughout, a lending library, dog park, common gathering spaces, and regular informal hangouts, along with a handful of organized neighborhood events throughout the year.
Five minutes to Duke, ten to downtown Durham, and easy access to Chapel Hill and major commuting routes. Trailheads, parks, restaurants, shopping, and nearby swim and tennis clubs are all part of the daily radius.
