1712 Rosedale Ave, Durham, NC 27707

This is the classic ''diamond in the rough''--a rare chance to claim a massive 0.61-acre lot in one of Durham's most coveted zip codes. While the home is currently a time capsule, its bones and location offer a canvas that most developers and visionaries dream of finding. Located in the heart of the Lakewood/Rockwood area, this property is priced for its potential. It's the perfect candidate for a full-scale renovation or an ambitious ''scrape and build'' project. With neighboring homes seeing high-end modern transformations, your investment here is protected by the surrounding property values and the sheer desirability of the 27707 area. Unbeatable Location: You are a 3-minute drive from the pastries at Guglhupf and less than 10 minutes from Duke University and Downtown Durham. Imagine stripping away the decades to reveal a modern-industrial or mid-century modern masterpiece. With the deep setback from Rosedale Avenue and the lush, wooded backyard, you have the privacy of a suburban estate with the heartbeat of the city just around the corner.
