Experience effortless living and endless possibilities in this beautifully updated Durham retreat, perfectly nestled on a large lot. Step inside to an open floor plan designed for connection—ideal for gatherings, celebrations, or quiet evenings by the cozy electric fireplace. The custom kitchen, featuring a striking waterfall granite countertop, is a chef's dream and the heart of the home, inviting you to create and share memorable meals. Three spacious bedrooms plus a dedicated office offer flexibility for work, rest, or play. Two modern bathrooms and a separate laundry room add comfort and convenience to daily life. Step outside to enjoy a private pool, fenced yard, and fruit trees—perfect for relaxing weekends or lively summer parties.
