    What's special

    Clean modern styleBright interiorsLarge fenced yardClassic hardwood floorsShaded dog parkQuiet dead-end streetFilled with mature greenery
    Life is easy on RUFFin Street. This single-story 1950s bungalow pairs classic hardwood floors with bright interiors and a clean, modern style, while the backyard steals the show. The large fenced yard is filled with mature greenery and offers plenty of space to garden, gather or unwind, while the detached garage provides excellent storage. Set on a quiet dead-end street just north of Trinity Park, the home is close to downtown, Ninth Street and Broad Street favorites, with quick access to I-85 and convenient proximity to Duke University and Duke University Health System. Nearby Ellerbe Creek trails lead south toward downtown and north toward the Museum of Life and Science and its shaded dog park. A peaceful little pocket with the best of Durham close at hand. Driveway is a shared driveway and is on the left as you are facing the house. (see shared driveway access easement and survey in MLS docs). Neighbor's driveway for 1709 Ruffin St encroaches (see survey and encroachment agreement in MLS docs).
