Stately and inviting, this lovely home on a cul-de-sac with a shady wooded lot beckons. Original, newly refinished wood floors provide natural warmth, and great natural light filters through trees into the living space. The large family room has built-in bookshelves and cozy gas logs in the fireplace. The kitchen features quartz countertops and a brick floor. A newly carpeted recreation room above the two-car garage can be used as a media room, game room or quiet retreat. The front yard has a programmable irrigation system, and a natural area with trees in front of the house affords privacy. The large screen porch is perfect for entertaining, morning coffee, listening to the birds or unwinding at the end of the day while looking out over the fenced-in backyard! Walk or ride a bike on the private streets in the highly desirable, friendly Surrey Green neighborhood. The paved Third Fork Creek trail connects with the neighborhood, leading to the Woodcroft trail system and the American Tobacco Trail. There's easy access to Duke University, Southpoint, downtown Durham, Chapel Hill, RTP and Raleigh. This is a unique opportunity to acquire a home in one of Durham's most sought-after neighborhoods! Back on the market with a price improvement! And newly refinished hardwood floors!
