Don't miss this cute-as-a-button bungalow on a large flat lot in Lakewood. The large deck and screened porch, plus lots of attic storage help this small-footprint house live large. Set on a quiet street within an easy walk to great coffee at Cocoa Cinnamon, delicious brunch at Lula and Sadie's, and evenings at Lakewood Social, you can be a part of it all, while still enjoying leafy quietude at home. Close to Duke, moments to downtown Durham, and a short drive to UNC or RTP.
