So few homes in Duke Forest come available! LOCATION, LOCATION, and STYLE GALORE! This is your chance to own a light-filled MID-CENTURY MODERN home designed by architect KENNETH MCCOY SCOTT. The peaceful outdoor setting is brought inside through the towering clerestory windows in the foyer, living room, and kitchen. Clerestory wall cut-outs allow light from outdoors and skylights to be shared to other areas. You'll marvel at the vaulted ceilings and high windows of different shapes that draw the eye upward. The built-ins could hold thousands of books (calling all professors!) or the cherished items that you wish to display. Enjoy the warmth of huge fireplace in the living room with a row of windows above. The hardwoods and waxed brick flooring add to the warmth and architectural appeal. The kitchen oozes style and has a vaulted ceiling with the lowest point of @13'. The private .71 acre lot and natural beauty of the back yard seems like an extension of the home through the towering windows. This home has 4 above grade bedrooms and two basement rooms with closets. Laundry room with a sink. Lots of flexibility with this gem of a home! Ride your bicycle to Duke University or Duke Medical Center. Traditional homes are everywhere in Durham, but this architectural gem in this LOCATION is not to be missed!
