Nature's Paradise in Urban Durham!!
--Fall in love inside and out with this cool Tri-level with plenty of room for entertaining and fun living. With Four Bedrooms and Three Full Baths, this 1975 gem is living large in middle age. (49 is Looking Good!) With so many connections to the outdoors, it's no wonder this house lives young at heart.
Step out through the kitchen sliding door to the covered deck and enjoy a cuppa Joe overlooking the loveliest backyard in Durham.
The main level has a generous living room and dining room plus an expansive sunroom, which also opens on to the covered deck through 2 sliding doors. Not to be outdone, the rocking chair front porch is a quiet respite under the shady pines.
After an afternoon of play and grilling out in the backyard, head from the patio to the massive lower level family room and get cozy in front of the brick fireplace with beautiful wood mantel. (The lower level has a fourth bedroom and full bath and could also be used as an in-law suite or rental. But make sure grandma will still let you play ping pong!)
The third level hosts the generous owner's bedroom, two full baths and two additional bedrooms.
The detached garage has room for a car and plenty of hobbies with space for a workshop. And the separate greenhouse awaits your adventures in gardening and grow lights.
If you ever want to leave this verdant abode, your proximity to all things Durham is optimal! Walkable to Duke East and West Campus, Hillandale Golf Course, 9th Street and more! This neighborhood is one of Durham's favorite in-town areas with plenty of activities, Oval Park fun for kids, the Ellerbe Creek Trail and cultural opportunities at the NC School of Math and Science. Mere minutes to multiple shopping areas.
This urban oasis has been well cared for more than 20 years by the owner. New Roof in 2023 with transferable Warranty. New HVAC in 2018 and Exterior Paint in 2021. Come check it out!
