Piper, noooooo... way you'll want to miss this one. This 1930s bungalow gives Victoria Ratliff energy —she's classic, she's dramatic, and she's had work done. Fully renovated in 2021-2022, she's now a perfect mix of vintage charm and modern flair, minus any of the chaos. This is the easiest decision you'll make—no lorazepam required. A rocking chair front porch welcomes you home from your questionable spiritual retreat. Step inside and the real hardwood floors scream, ''This wasn't an LVP-style renovation.'' The open layout connects the living, dining, and extra-large kitchen that features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a tiled breakfast peninsula, with enough room to add an island. Go ahead, cook up a great meal, pour some wine, and invite over two of your best-girlfriends-you-haven't-seen-in-a-decade to plan your next escape to Thailand. Wander into the vaulted-ceiling sunroom and out to the spacious deck. The fully fenced backyard? Grounding. Therapeutic. Your dog's emotional support dream. Back inside, you'll find two bright bedrooms with a buddy bath, a dreamy home office, and a primary suite that ascends - literally, its vaulted ceilings flood this room with light and positive spiritual guru energy. Dual walk-in closets. And a spa-like bath with a tiled shower and a clawfoot tub that will make you say ''I just don't think at this age I'm meant to live an uncomfortable life. I don't have the will.'' Fresh paint touch-ups. Newly stained porch and deck. Just over a mile to DPAC, Durham Bulls Athletic Park, and dangerously close to the food scene on University Drive (Guglhupf, Nanas, Fosters). You're not just buying a house. You're buying a storyline. This is your White Lotus moment.
