Built in 1961, this delightful mid-century, bi-level home provides the perfect balance of thoughtful modern updates with iconic original charm. Ideally situated on a half-acre corner lot in a quiet yet centrally located neighborhood, it welcomes you with a stately facade. The main level showcases a completely renovated, open kitchen with induction cooktop, Fisher & Paykel appliances and exposed brick. Sellers installed white oak hardwood floors in the kitchen to match the rest of the main level. Spacious dining and living areas overlook the expansive backyard. Three of the home's five bedrooms are also on the main level, as are two beautifully updated bathrooms with high-end features including custom floating vanities, designer tile, and a heated floor in the primary. On the walk-out lower level, you'll find a large family room featuring a huge brick wood-burning fireplace, as well as two additional bedrooms which could easily double as offices or guest space, or an ideal set up for multigenerational living. Entertain on the large deck overlooking the spacious backyard, with plenty of space for gardening, relaxing around a fire pit, or kicking the soccer ball around. Gorgeous mature magnolia trees flank the side driveway. Walk to Hope Valley Elementary. Less than 10 minutes to Duke or Downtown Durham. New HVAC (2024) and a LONG list of updates!
