1700 Rosedale Ave, Durham, NC 27707

Let's set the stage: the visual from the curb of 1700 Rosedale is a that of a timeless painted brick ranch, nestled on a private lot that is easily walkable to Forest Hills Park, Cocoa Cinnamon, NuvoTaco, Rockwood Park....you get the idea. When you walk in the front door, you expect to see the usual 3 bedrooms, 2 baths to the left, and you are correct. And yes, there is a roomy dining room, kitchen with granite counters and a large living room to the right. But you see stairs, so you take them down. And that's when you get hit with the ol' razzle dazzle: a fully and beautifully finished lower level that has a rec room that can fit everyone that wants to watch the football game on Thanksgiving day, a spacious laundry room with utility sink, built ins, recessed lighting and a bedroom or office, however you need it to function. And that full bathroom down there with the gorgeous tile? It's like the jazz hands at the end of the number. The exterior entrance even has its own driveway. There are a lot of possibilities for how to live in this house, and there is definitely enough room.
