This adorable cottage snuggled into a quiet corner of the beautiful Northgate Park neighborhood is just overflowing with charm and personality. This much-loved home has been meticulously maintained, with a tidy set of records to show for it. Inside, you will find this small space lives large, with surprisingly generous light-filled spaces. Original hard wood flooring, smooth ceilings, picture molding throughout, ceramic tiled bathroom and many original fixtures convey historic character. The spacious attic with heart pine flooring is just waiting to be finished into an entire second floor retreat, office space, artist or yoga studio, you name it. Recent improvements include structural work in the basement to refurbish the foundation and the installation of a French drain. Outside, the house is thoughtfully landscaped with a charming brick pathway and an assortment of plants designed for beauty in every season. A large partially fenced backyard framed by a majestic magnolia tree is a gardener's retreat and perfect for outdoor relaxing and entertaining. Talk to the city to explore whether the large, flat, open space of the back yard could be used for an ADU. Potential additional rental income! A quiet location, yet close to Northgate Park, within easy distance to downtown Durham, the Ellerbee Creek Trails, and an easy commute to Duke - it's a dream.
