Preferred Lender Incentive! Use Carolina Mortgage Advisors as your lender and receive a 1% lender credit at closing. It's Fall Ya'll! Or is it second summer? Either way, 1208 W Murray Ave puts you in one of those Durham locations that just makes life easier. Tucked along a tree-lined street near Duke University and Duke Hospital, you're minutes from campus, Ninth Street, The Museum of Life and Science restaurants, coffee shops, and everything else that makes this part of Durham so convenient. Inside, the home has a comfortable, classic ranch layout with plenty of flexibility for everyday life. There's room to settle in after a long shift, work from home, host friends, or simply enjoy some peace and quiet. Outside, the .23-acre lot gives you a manageable yard without signing yourself up to spend every weekend maintaining it. And when you do want to get out, some of Durham's best-known neighborhoods, shops, and gathering places are just a few minutes away. Whether you're looking for a home close to Duke, a convenient Durham location, or a property with some interesting long-term flexibility, 1208 W Murray Ave is the coolest ticket in town. Don't "leaf" this one off your list. Preliminary conversations with City of Durham suggest an ADU can be built on this property. No permits applied for or issued. Buyer to do their own due diligence. Seller is a licensed real estate agent.
