** $25,000 PRICE DROP! ** As Fall settles in, this timeless craftsman beams like a ray of light in Old North Durham, one of Durham's most walkable in town neighborhoods. Perched above historic Seeman St, the gracious front porch is the perfect spot to linger with friends as the leaves turn. Inside, sunlight pours in through oversized windows onto the hardwood floors throughout. Large living space is anchored by a cozy, functional fireplace, flanked with built-ins. Savor the season in the modern kitchen with quartz counters (loads of prep space!), stainless appliances, gas range, and wine bar — a perfect setup for hosting Friendsgiving! Enjoy Autumn eves on the back deck, overlooking fenced yard with productive fig and persimmon trees. Sun fills the yard by day, making it great for gardeners! Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is a homey haven with a huge walk in closet and en suite bath. Two generous secondary bedrooms and convenient upstairs laundry. Bonus points for the whole house sound system, 2019 HVAC, 2023 water heater, and dual zone thermostats. All of this goodness is steps from everything there is to love about Downtown Durham! Enjoy Saturday morning strolls to the farmer's market, snag a seasonal PSL from Cocoa Cinnamon, or watch a fiery Fall sunset over Surf Club. Experience the perfect combination of cozy comfort and urban living at 121 E Seeman St!
