    RARE MULTIGENERATIONAL PROPERTY WITH INCREDIBLE FLEXIBILITY! Set on 2.88 private acres in desirable Durham, this 5,664 sq ft home offers an exceptional combination of space, privacy and possibilities. Officially listed as 5 bedrooms/3 baths per town records, the existing layout provides multiple additional living and bath areas that make this property truly unique. The ground-level in-law area includes 2 bedrooms, living space and its own garage-ideal for parents, adult children, extended family or guests who want privacy while remaining under the same roof. An additional studio living area features its own full kitchen and full bath. It can provide private space for extended family or guests, offer potential rental/short-term rental possibilities where permitted, or be incorporated directly into the main residence. Because it connects to the main home, this space could easily transition into an impressive primary suite. In total, the home's existing physical layout currently provides 6 rooms being used as bedrooms, 4 full baths and 1 half bath. Town records reflect 5 bedrooms/3 baths; buyers should perform their own due diligence regarding permitted use and room designations. The main residence features spacious rooms, hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, a fireplace and a character-filled floor plan. Two of the full baths could benefit from updating, providing an opportunity for the next owner to personalize the home. THREE OUTBUILDINGS expand the possibilities even further. One was formerly used as a stable and could potentially be returned to that use. A second provides substantial covered carport/detached garage space-ideal for vehicles, equipment, recreational toys or hobbies. A third smaller structure provides additional storage. Whether your interests include horses, cars, equipment, a workshop or simply having room for everything, this property offers options rarely found in a traditional residential setting. Outdoor living is another highlight, with a covered patio featuring an outdoor kitchen and pizza oven-an exceptional space for entertaining, family gatherings and enjoying the peaceful acreage. One property with remarkable possibilities-multigenerational living, extended family, guest accommodations, potential income use, equestrian possibilities, vehicles, equipment and more. Come see the space, flexibility and potential this unique Durham property has to offer.
