Minutes to Duke. 4.3 acres. Mini-farm. Renovated ranch. Fully renovated ADU cabin. Read that again! Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare in the Triangle, situated between downtown Durham and Chapel Hill. At first glance, you'll see a 1960s brick ranch. That's great, but wait....there's oh so much more! This is a property with range, land, income, and flexibility all in one place, the kind buyers search for and rarely find in a single setting in the Triangle. The ADU, a fully renovated log cabin (check out that screened porch!) originally built in 1930 and transformed in 2024 with all new systems, lives as a true second residence and is already generating $2,000 - $2,400/month. Tenant in place until Aug 31, 2026. Guest house, rental, multigenerational, it's not potential, it's already performing. The main home, 3BR/3BA, brings mid-century character with meaningful updates, including a reimagined layout for better flow, roof replacement (2026), all new plumbing (2024), new upstairs flooring (2023), new appliances (2023), fresh paint, sunroom sauna installation (2024), and a walk-out basement with office, rec room, fireplace, and a vintage bar with an undeniable vibe. And then there's the land! 4.3 acres overlooking Duke Forest. Open, usable space ready for gardens, animals, and projects, supported by zoning that allows agricultural use, including chickens and horses for non-commercial use. Original homestead outbuildings, rich with character and scale, anchor the setting and support everything from hobby farming to workshop space to whatever vision comes next. No HOA. No city taxes. All renovations have been permited, inspected, and recorded (Durham Co). And here's the part that makes this even more compelling. There is still room to elevate or redefine. Whether updating interior spaces or reimagining the lower level of the main house, the major systems and solid structure are already in place, leaving you the freedom to take it further without starting from scratch. So no, it's not just a brick ranch. It's a property that lives, earns, and adapts. The kind buyers wait for, but rarely get a chance at. Don't miss yours!
