INVESTORS, SELLING AS IS. Earn a return by renovating one of the loveliest corner lots in the Merrick Moore community of NE Durham. Recent new construction infill in the neighborhood selling in the mid 400's makes this a great opportunity to build a new 2-story duplex or single family home to live, sell or rent!
