This classic all brick Duke Forest home has served its original owners well, and it’s time to hand it off to the next generation. At once spacious and practical, options abound for multiple living and work-from-home arrangements. The main floor primary suite has its own office to hunker down when work requires the burning of midnight oil, or even space for a future library for those folks who cannot abide a Kindle. An open kitchen layout complete with a plethora of smart cabinetry and storage blend seamlessly with timeless features such as a large sunroom, multiple wood-burning fireplaces and hardwood flooring. The updated walk-out basement provides an escape hatch for guest and resident overflow when football-watching and sugar-fueled playtimes get a bit too rowdy. An extra .25 acre lot comes with and provides a wooded privacy buffer or space for a future vegetable garden. Numerous updates include new roof, flooring, LED lighting, door hardware+fresh paint throughout. Fabulous location across from Cornwallis park and minutes from all things Durham+the Al Buehler trail.
