What's special
An urban oasis with the rare versatility you've been looking for. Welcome to your beautiful 1932 renovated home with an updated, separate apartment OR savvy, dual income investment property! Boasting restored features and modern updates, the front dwelling is a 3bed/3bath with original hardwoods (refinished in 2021) and high ceilings downstairs. The rear dwelling is a 2bed/1bath that the previous owner renovated in 2020. Enjoy your spacious corner lot with a deep backyard, artisan fencing, detached garage, rear entertainment patio, screened porch (front dwelling), and open porch (rear dwelling). Indulge in the balance of historic sensibility - restored hardware, original double-hung windows and real wood doors, and trim and molding - with modern eco-conscious solar panels, rain catchment, pollinator plants, and fruit trees. Oh, and would you look at that...cityscape views from the front dwelling owner suite. Saving one of the best features for last, enjoy the ease of metropolitan walkability to all within half a mile or less: parks, trails, W. Geer Street restaurants and venues (such as Cocoa Cinnamon and Motorco Music Hall), Boxcar Bar + Arcade, Fullsteam Brewery, The Blue Note Grill, Durham Food Hall, Durham Farmers' Market, plus so much more! For schools, Central Park (Charter) School is a 0.2 mile walk away, Durham School of the Arts (Magnet) is a 0.6 mile walk, and George Watts Elementary (base elementary school starting 2024-2025 school year) is a 0.8 mile walk away. NC School of Science and Mathematics is only a 2.1 mile drive! Durham Bulls Athletic Park, DPAC, and Duke East Campus are also all within 1.5 miles from your new metro paradise!
