Ranch on corner lot that needs attention but has SO much potential and so does the LOT! Let's get this out of the way- the house needs work. Some ceiling heights are not quite 7ft. Not sure how extensive but bring your imagination to renovate this house and make it a jewel again. Now the good stuff- Roof was replaced in 2023. HVAC in late 2024. Vinyl siding. Vinyl windows throughout most of house. Rocking chair front porch. City says POSSIBLE flag lot or small lot build. Worth the dive into seeing what can be done if you are a developer/Investor who wants to be in the growth of the Downtown Durham area. Location- just moments to Tobacco Trails, Hillside Park, DPAC, Bulls games, mom and pop dining, NCCU and easy access to freeway to get to RTP, Raleigh or Hillsborough. The revitalization is ALL AROUND! Sold as is.
