    What's special

    Wood-burning fireplaceWalk-out basementRear deckOld-fashioned front porchTongue-and-groove ceilingCherry hardwood flooringExpansive breakfast bar
    The old-fashioned front porch with its terrazzo floor & tongue-and-groove ceiling welcome you home to this beautifully restored, updated 4 BR 2.5 bath charming gem close to both Duke and UNC. Featuring a vaulted great room with wood-burning fireplace & beautiful floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves, the open floorplan enfolds you in its functional, entertaining relation. The expansive breakfast bar with comfortable stools borders the kitchen & is adjacent to the breakfast room that can accommodate a kitchen table. The kitchen is an artistic jewel at the center of the home, featuring high-end stainless appliances; a gas range with double oven; handsome hardwood cabinets; a granite countertop; & Romanesque ceramic backsplash & flooring. The spacious DR showcases the original antique tongue-and-groove ceiling & an exquisitely patterned ceramic-tile floor. The rear deck features a mature built-in privet shrub & opens to the home's lush wooded backyard with views of 2 wisteria-covered trellises & many mature plantings (including a fruit-bearing fig & huge holly trees). Because of the home's layout, the DR could also function as a den or study. The gorgeous step-down MBR combines classic rich cherry hardwood flooring, an antique tongue-and-groove ceiling, a spaciously designed master closet, & a charming recessed nook that suits a king bed. As another jewel in this home, the master bath boasts an earth-tone-ceramic surround for the step-up soaker tub/shower & a copper-bowl sink on a marble-top-antique cabinet. With a split floor plan, the main level has the 2nd & 3rd BRs on the opposite side of the MBR. A stylish full bath serves these 2 BRs, featuring a tongue-and-groove ceiling, marble flooring, & a recessed nook to house a gorgeous antique mirror & sink-base cabinet with granite countertop. The walk-out basement includes 1200 sf; BR #4; a half bath; a spacious, well-equipped laundry room with front-load HE washer/dryer, a folding table, & a hanging rack; 2 other central spaces for recreation, exercise, or lounging; a huge storage room with shelving & bars for hanging clothes. Boasting much storage, closet, & pantry space as well as hardwoods throughout & many bright windows, this home is a retreat of natural light & functional organization, rustic warmth, & in-town style. On a nicely secluded 1-acre lot, the home is an in-town treasure. Just minutes from UNC Chapel Hill; Duke's East/West campuses & Med/grad schools; Duke Forest's trail around the WA Duke Inn & Golf Club; downtown Durham/Chapel Hill via 15-501, this home sits adjacent to the historic Hope Valley neighborhood with fabulous shopping, eateries, movies, & more nearby! Cary/Raleigh, Hillsborough, Mebane/Burlington, & Greensboro are an easy commute via I-40 or I-85. Rent includes water, garbage, & professional lawn maintenance. There is a pet fee of $250/animal/year. Zoom or FaceTime showings work well. Rent includes water, professional lawn maintenance, & trash removal, but the tenant pays gas & electric utilities.
