Storybook North Durham cottage with a beautiful garden and neighborhood access to the Eno River State Park. This two bedroom packs so much charm into 1000 square feet! Hardwood floors connect the two spacious living spaces. Flow from the kitchen with lovely pink tile and butcher block counters out to the expansive back deck overlooking the large fenced backyard. A separate workshop with electric makes the perfect artist studio. The property is home to a front yard pollinator garden which attracts many butterflies and hummingbirds. You can even harvest your own fruit from the two fig bushes and two apple trees! All these wonderful features just 10 minutes from 9th Street and downtown Durham. New gutters in 2024, roof replaced by previous owner in 2019, hot water heater replaced in 2020, and shed/workshop added in 2024.
