408 Anita St, Durham, NC 27701

PRICE REDUCTION in one of Durham's most modern yet peaceful neighborhoods! Set atop a neighborhood originally developed in the 1950's by Wilkinson and featuring homes by Crabtree Spaces and Ellen Cassilly, this home continues in the tradition of forward leaning architecture, blending contemporary minimalist design with uncompromising quality. The FiberTite® commercial-grade roof—the same trusted by IBM and Google—is regarded as the best flat roof system in the industry. Custom oversized gutters and scuppers with LeafGuard®'s lifetime transferable warranty provide lasting protection. Andersen® casement windows and a Superior Walls® foundation and framing system add strength, efficiency, and durability. The kitchen showcases a striking solid walnut island, into which the sleek Fisher & Paykel® panel-ready drawer dishwasher is seamlessly integrated. True® Residential commercial refrigeration keeps food remarkably fresh, while a natural gas cooktop, fireplace, and oversized-capacity Rinnai® tankless water heater make daily living both efficient and comfortable. At the heart of the home, an artisan-crafted welded steel dual-stringer floating staircase with white oak slab treads rises dramatically to the third-story penthouse and rooftop patio. This entertainment space is designed for dining, games, and gatherings, with plumbing ready for an outdoor kitchen or shower. Finishing touches include durable, long-lasting Ipe decking. Set on a gentle rise with treetop and streetscape views, the home is located in a serene, hilly neighborhood within walking distance of downtown. It is ADU-ready: the third-bedroom suite already includes a private entrance and porch, with plumbing and electrical hookups in place—simply add a kitchenette if desired for a fully independent rental or guest space. Utility-friendly 10-inch-thick concrete walls, layered with both open-cell and closed-cell spray foam insulation, make this home exceptionally sturdy, efficient, and quiet. The Tesla Universal Charger supports any EV, ensuring future-ready convenience.
