Say hello to this charming 1940s brick Cape Cod, walking distance from Durham's Northgate Park, just minutes from downtown. It has loads of timeless cottage curb appeal, from the covered front porch to the classic gray brick exterior, but step inside and you'll find it's been thoughtfully updated, with all the charm left intact. Refinished hardwood floors run throughout and features an arched doorway and a wood-burning fireplace. The open layout makes it easy to move between the living room, dining area, and the kitchen. The kitchen is updated with granite countertops, a gas range, stainless appliances and tile backsplash. The primary suite is a genuine retreat: its own full bath, three closets, and the laundry room right off it. And with the pull-down stairs, the floored attic offers bonus storage now with room to expand down the road. Outside, the lot runs deep and fully fenced, shaded by mature trees, and set far back. There's room to garden, gather, or just enjoy a relaxing shaded moment on the deck. The location does the rest. You're a quick hop from downtown Durham's restaurants, coffee, and energy, with Northgate Park, Omie's, and King's right around the corner!
