On the edge of beloved Forest Hills, this 1980s two-story has had a stunning glow-up. Designer-selected colors and finishes set the tone throughout. With a highly functional floor plan, the main level offers a cozy living room with fireplace, an open dining area with access to a brand-new deck and patio, an eat-in kitchen, powder room, laundry, and a light-filled den. Thoughtful additions to the kitchen include a high-end microwave drawer, a stylish, moveable kitchen island that conveys, and quartz countertops with a seamless backsplash - outlets are tucked beneath the upper cabinets and a sleek pushbutton at the counter replaces the wall switch for the disposal. The den's cathedral ceilings and natural light make it a perfect flex area for work, relaxation, or entertaining space. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms and two full baths, including a bright primary suite with en suite bath. Additional features include a one-car garage that makes pollen-season parking a breeze and fresh sod and new landscaping that bring instant curb appeal, with hydrangeas that will dazzle come spring. The upgrades are extensive: new roof, HVAC, electrical, and ductwork. Refinished hardwoods on the main floor and brand-new hardwoods upstairs and in the den. New kitchen and baths. New appliances. Fresh paint inside and out (on the cedar siding). New wooden front door and exterior doors, new brick walkway with wrought iron accents, and new garage door and back door in the garage to provide easier access to the kitchen. Multiple trees were removed to open the lot, while mature hardwoods remain to preserve the neighborhood's old-charm character. And the cherry on top? Conveniently close to Durham favorites like Nuvo Taco, Beer Study, Thai Café, and more.
