106 E Trinity Ave, Durham, NC 27701
What's special
1925 character. Modern-day peace of mind. This classic 2,301-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 3-bath Downtown Durham Craftsman was thoughtfully and extensively renovated in 2022, artfully balancing the character and warmth of the original home with the comforts of modern living. The restoration included restored and refinished original heartwood pine floors while nearly every major system was updated, including new electrical wiring and plumbing throughout, dual-system HVAC with new ductwork, new insulation, a new 30-year roof, new gutters and downspouts, and significant structural and foundation improvements. At the heart of the home is a thoughtfully designed kitchen featuring Shaker-style cabinetry, quartz countertops, tile backsplash, a large center island, stainless-steel appliances, pantry and adjoining bar area. The open and inviting main level flows naturally between the kitchen, dining and living spaces and includes a guest bedroom, full bath and spacious laundry/mudroom. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, including the primary suite with a large walk-in closet and stylish bath featuring a walk-in tiled shower, frameless glass and double vanity. An additional full bath features a deep cast-iron tub with tile surround and Carrera marble-topped double vanity. The transformation continues outdoors, where the current owners completely reimagined the backyard in 2025, creating an exceptional outdoor living and entertaining space. Expansive stone patios, an outdoor kitchen, thoughtfully designed landscaping and planting areas, evergreen turf and multiple gathering spaces create a private urban retreat beneath the mature tree canopy - perfect for dining alfresco, gathering around the fire pit, entertaining or simply relaxing. A rebuilt covered front porch provides the quintessential Old North Durham welcome, while off-street parking and an EV charger add everyday convenience. Historic character, modern comfort and an incredible outdoor setting - with easy access to Downtown, the lively Geer Street district, the Durham Farmers' Market, DPAC, and all the restaurants, bars and shopping that make Durham so vibrant.
