Brick, Please! This Raised Ranch Has Range. Who says a raised brick ranch can't have a little personality? This one is serving up space, style, and enough fireplaces to make winter feel like a competitive sport. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a dedicated office, there's room for everyone to spread out—including the person who insists on working from home but occasionally just needs a quiet place to scroll. The kitchen comes with a fabulous keeping room, because apparently even the kitchen deserves its own living room. And when it's time to take the party outside, the screened porch is ready for morning coffee, evening cocktails, and pretending you don't hear the neighbors mowing. Inside, find a proper laundry room that keeps the household running, while the workshop is ready for projects, hobbies, and finally figuring out where all those tools went. Even better? The big-ticket items have gotten some love, with a newer roof and HVAC. Less worrying about the house, more time enjoying it. You're welcome. And the location? Practically showing off. You're conveniently close to the Museum of Life and Science, Duke University, downtown Durham, and West Point on the Eno. Culture, campus, restaurants, trails, and outdoor adventures are all within easy reach. A raised brick ranch with room to live, work, relax, entertain, and possibly develop a fireplace-related personality. It's got charm, function, and a location that makes staying home almost a shame. Come see it before someone else raises the roof on this raised ranch!
