Step into a piece of history with this beautifully preserved 1930s home that seamlessly blends true vintage charm with stylish, thoughtful updates. And while you initially won't want to leave the sweetest front porch ever, there's so much more inside to love. With generously sized bedrooms and living spaces, plus a sunroom/office nook, this one lives large and flows gracefully from one room to the next. Abundant, huge windows welcome the most amazing natural light, enhanced by 9ft ceilings and warm wood floors. Period details whisper around each corner, with original glass door knobs, built-ins, arched doorways and original tile. And oh, the tile....with a floor to ceiling (even the ceiling itself!) art deco-inspired bathroom, handmade checkerboard kitchen floor, terracotta sunroom, and terracotta mosaic laundry, you'll be instantly nostalgic for the character and quality of yore. On the modern end, rest easy with updated wiring & lighting, brand new roof, and a fresh, beautifully appointed kitchen. Step outside and watch a rain storm cozied up on the front porch, share a evening meal on the deck, or start your garden in the backyard. It really doesn't get much better. Oh wait, it does! Situated in sought-after, historic Morehead Hill, simply walk or bike out your front door to all things downtown Durham, the ATT, Forest Hills park, Cocoa Cinnamon, or Isaacs Bagels. They don't make them like this anymore folks. Come see it for yourself.
