If you appreciate a home with history, character, and details you can't help but notice, this one is worth a look! From the moment you step onto the welcoming front porch, you get the feeling that this home has stories to tell. Built in 1920, this Cleveland-Holloway charmer has all the things that make older homes so special: tons of natural light, tall ceilings, beautiful pine floors, and sweet architectural details. Fully renovated in 2015, thoughtful updates bring modern comfort while keeping the warmth and personality of the original home intact. Fresh interior and exterior paint adds the perfect finishing touch. Sitting on a corner lot with front and side porches, it has plenty of little spaces to enjoy (and maybe a few spots where you'll immediately start imagining your morning coffee). Located just a few blocks from Golden Belt and less than a mile from downtown Durham, this home puts you close to the energy of the city while giving you the opportunity to slow down and enjoy a lovely piece of Durham history. Come see why this house is so easy to love!
