Speak the language of a homeowner and make this Rosetta (stone?) your own! This house is fluent in both style and character, with its warm hardwood floors, elevated front porch with two porch swings, and a crisp white exterior topped off with a blue door. It's not old school though, as the house underwent a 21st century adaptation in 2017, including the addition of a large primary bathroom and closet arrangement. In other words, it's move-in ready. You'll easily decipher how to employ the floor plan - two nicely sized bedrooms combine with an antechamber off the primary suite that could serve as an office, nursery, art studio, or yoga retreat. A large living room will easily accommodate the largest sectional sofa you can serve up with ample room left over for any dog beds. A detached garage is tucked around back and allows for a place to stash your whip and could easily transform into the hub of any outdoor gatherings come Spring. Your beloved fur fam will be very happy to add 'fenced-in backyard' to their vocabulary. I won't spell out how awesome the Old North Durham location is, with its easy access to downtown. TL:DR Translation - this house is cute, updated, and in a sweet location.
