Owned for generations by the Pope family, entrepreneurs and merchants at the Lakewood Amusement Park, this 1926 Craftsman is full of charm and historic details. Enjoy a timeless renovated kitchen and bathrooms, 10 ft ceilings, an exquisitely sealed crawl space, solar panels, an EV charger and more. The sunlight pouring through the windows and reflecting off the old hardwoods makes it impossible to deny the magic of this historic Durham beauty. The large communal spaces, deep covered porch, tiered deck and gorgeous fenced backyard are perfect for grilling out, gardening or letting your four-legged friends run and play. The flexible floor plan provides various options for bedrooms and home offices. The beautifully landscaped lot is home to numerous native and exotic trees, bushes and pollinators including pecan trees, hydrangeas, camelias, peonies, azaleas and a fig tree. The .33 acre parcel allows for expansion potential so if you're considering an ADU or proper garage, you have options! Walk to Fosters, Guglhupf, Refectory Cafe, Lula and Sadie's, Cocoa Cinnamon, Pistachio Ice Cream, Taqueria La Vaquita, the Al Buehler Trail and more.
