A home run on Valley Run. Oodles of updates, a flexible floor plan, and a private, beautifully landscaped lot are yours in this sweet SW Durham charmer. The grounds will delight, with tiered gardens and raised planting beds at front, replete with Irises, chrysanthemum, coneflower, hydrangeas, lenten rose, and more! The backyard boasts new and pretty white fencing along the front with interior bench seating, and a vast area for play or gardening, backing to serene woods. One of the largest lots in the neighborhood, it's .28 acres of lush and landscaped bliss. Inside, you'll relish the updated kitchen and baths, including newer stainless appliances (2021) alongside wood cabs & subway backsplash. The flexible floor plan boasts two bedrooms plus living and family rooms—the latter of which could be converted to main floor bedroom. You'll love the hardwood, bamboo and slate tile flooring — no carpet here! Plus, enjoy two fireplaces, abundant storage, and fantastic natural light. Newly painted, the interior is warm and welcoming. Want more? The heavy lifting has been done, with new roof & gutters, water heater, and washer & dryer all 2021, exterior paint 2022, and new HVAC 2019. Great schools, shops and major connectors are just moments away. A special home!
