We welcome you to 1804 Sunset Ave, nestled in the historic Watts Hillandale neighborhood - one of Durham's most desirable areas! This 2005 build was the first Green Build Initiative certified home in NC. Recognized in NC Modernist, the home was the brainchild of Randy Lanou of Buildsense, was featured on HGTV and won the AIA Triangle Merit Award. Stunning bamboo floors traverse both the main and upper levels while a polished concrete finishes off the lower level. Open concept living, towering ceilings, lots of glass affording loads of natural light - this home is built to please. As you enter from the front door you are greeted by a spectacular floating staircase leading to a second level primary suite and loft - gorgeous! The main level consists of beautifully designed living/dining and kitchen spaces, flowing seamlessly from one to the other. Perfect for entertaining! And side screen porch adjoins allowing for outdoor fun on warm summer nights. The private fenced backyard offers a cozy patio space surrounded by lush greenery and well thought out, easy to maintain landscaping. Minutes away from Duke and Ninth Street. Parks and trails abound!
