Discover an incredible opportunity to craft your very own waterfront property, just a short stroll from the University and downtown Durham. This beautifully developed lot offers endless potential, with mature landscaping, newer septic, and direct access to the serene Oyster River. A historic barn has already been partially transformed into a cozy two-bedroom residence, featuring warm, rustic charm, exposed beams, and inviting living spaces. There's plenty of room to expand the existing layout or reimagine the open barn area as a stunning workshop, art studio, or home office. But the possibilities don’t stop there—this spacious lot also offers the potential to build a new home overlooking the river. Whether you’re envisioning a peaceful retreat, a multi-generational property, or a custom dream home, this unique property invites you to bring your imagination to life. An opportunity to combine antique charm with modern potential in a prime Durham location doesn't come along often. Showings begin at the Open Houses on Friday 1/24 from 4pm to 6pm and Saturday 1/25 from 11am to 1pm.
