What's special
A beautifully updated brick ranch on nearly half an acre, this Durham gem pairs classic curb appeal with modern comfort. The front yard is a true showpiece, lovingly landscaped for year-round interest, while the expansive backyard offers hardscaping, lush plantings, and plenty of room to relax, play, or entertain. The shed gives you extra storage and the swing set conveys if you'd like to have it! Inside, you'll find warm character throughout, including a remodeled kitchen with stylish matte stone countertops. The newly added gas fireplace cozies up the space and wood-paneled ceilings add charm and personality. Multiple living and dining spaces provide flexibility for gathering, working, or unwinding. And all but two windows have been replaced for ease of use and energy efficiency. All of this in a prime location near Hope Valley, with quick access to shopping or dining at Southpoint Mall or at favorites like Nana Tacos and Beer Study. Duke, Chapel Hill, and RTP make for a quick commute, making this peaceful retreat of a home also wonderfully convenient for everyday life. Want more? Come to 3900 Swarthmore!
