    Back on the market Near Duke -- No fault of the home! This updated, turnkey two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath townhome is back on the market due to the previous buyer's financing falling through after an extended contract period. This home is Move-In Ready with no issues preventing closing - just an unfortunate financing hiccup. Offers 1,280 square feet of comfortable living in one of Durham's most accessible locations. Built in 2005 and recently refreshed in 2024, this home features fresh paint, new carpet, and new LVP flooring throughout -- giving it a clean, updated feel from the moment you walk in. The open layout offers everyday functionality with a half bath on the main level and two full baths upstairs. Brand new GE appliances round out the kitchen update, making this home truly move-in ready. Located in Durham County's 27704 zip code, you're just minutes from Duke University, Duke Health System, N.C. Central University, and the energy of downtown Durham. Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizer, or investor looking for a low-maintenance rental property, this location consistently delivers strong demand. Note: The previous buyer's August 2026 home inspection report is available to you! The North Carolina Housing Financing Agency appraised the home at $235,000 in September 2026 for the previous buyer. Now is your chance to snag this property below the NCFHA appraised value!
