Property Description

Stroll into a storybook retreat in the heart of downtown Durham. Thoughtfully restored and completely move-in ready, this home blends 1900 charm with modern peace of mind as all major systems were replaced during its comprehensive 2020 renovation. Sunlight fills the interior through an abundance of windows, highlighting the warm site-finished hardwood floors, stylish finishes, and a functional 3/2 layout. The kitchen is equal parts practical and delightful with striking green tile and not one, but two sinks. Out back, the raised deck feels like a private treehouse tucked among the leaves. It's the perfect perch for morning birdsong, evening conversations, or a quiet moment with a good book. Beyond the backyard, city-owned land filled with mature vegetation creates a wonderfully secluded backdrop offering rare privacy so close to the heart of town. And what a location it is! Leave the car parked and wander to the Durham Farmer's Market, the lively Geer Street district, local restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and all the energy and culture downtown Durham has to offer. Historic charm, modern comfort, and easy city living: this home makes everyday life feel a little more magical.
