Nestled on a quiet street in Old North Durham street, the c.1920 Mangum-Powell House radiates enduring charm and thoughtful craftsmanship. From the moment you step onto the beautifully restored heart pine porch, it's clear—this is a home that has been lovingly reimagined for the next century.
Painstakingly renovated by Pier & Curtain Home Restoration, a 2024 Preservation North Carolina GS Carraway Award of Merit winner, no detail—whether aesthetic or functional—was overlooked. The result? A historic home seamlessly updated for modern living, with all-new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and insulation ensuring comfort and peace of mind. Here, the beauty is more than skin deep.
Built-in bookcases, original mantels, and exquisite custom millwork pay homage to the home's rich history. The show stopping vaulted screened porch—accessed through grand double mahogany doors—invites Durham's gorgeous spring and fall breezes inside, while offering a dreamy setting for summer evenings.
At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is nothing short of spectacular. Featuring leathered granite counters with a large island, a 36'' Smeg range, a handcrafted range hood, and a farmhouse sink, it blends historic character with high-end function. The adjacent arched walk-in pantry and bar, alongside a sunroom-style seating or breakfast area, makes this space as practical as it is breathtaking.
The flexible downstairs primary suite offers a luxurious retreat with a marble-clad shower, dual closets, and elegant pocket doors—or it can serve as a den, office, or playroom to suit your needs. Thoughtfully placed washer/dryer hookups on both floors eliminate the hassle of lugging laundry up and down the stairs, and helps open the possibilities for comfortable living suitable for all generations.
The comfortable nook near the back door can easily be enhanced with built-ins or furniture pieces to serve a myriad of uses which can evolve with your needs: a mudroom/storage area, a pocket office/homework nook, or a little playspace in view of the kitchen.
Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms and two beautifully appointed baths await. The upstairs en suite is a showpiece, complete with a dual-sink vanity, clawfoot tub, glass-enclosed marble shower, and a separate water closet.
With unbeatable proximity to Durham's best restaurants, bars, and amenities, plus zoning for the highly coveted Watts Montessori Elementary and the Riverside High School and its Engineering Magnet program, this home is the perfect balance of historic character, modern convenience, and prime location.
