A special gem! Set back from the street on a deep lot, 2618 Chapel Hill Road is a charming Durham bungalow that combines timeless historic qualities such as original refinished hardwood floors and a working brick fireplace with modern updates and aesthetic elegance. With a layout that is practical, functional, and designed for optimal flow, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home has been thoughtfully restored and modernized, and is truly move-in ready. The kitchen and bathroom have both been beautifully redone with care and quality craftsmanship. Note the brand new to-die-for Classic Retro appliances and stylish new lighting fixtures. Two sun-filled bedrooms offer peaceful retreats, while the spacious dining room featuring Serena and Lily wallpaper adds style to dressy dinner parties or informal family gatherings alike. A bonus space upstairs adds wonderful flexibility — ideal as a home office, yoga studio, or playroom. The updates and bonuses don't stop there. This 1133 square-foot home also has a brand new roof, HVAC system, upstairs mini split, updated front porch, added patio space, and fresh paint inside and out. And the .39 acre lot is deep and wide enough for multiple uses: as a gardener's dream landscaping canvas, for adding a lap pool or ADU, or as a shady retreat for afternoon hammock naps. There's ample off-street parking for several cars, and the detached garage could be used as workshop space, additional storage, or as a She Shed or Man Cave. Beautifully landscaped and carefully restored, this bungalow has had every detail attended to, making this a home you can simply move into and enjoy. A private retreat from the bustle of the world, this property has the added bonus of being close to Duke University and Health Center, 15-501, and downtown Durham's vibrant offerings.
