Set across from the community pond in SoDu's Wellington Forest, 515 Wellingham Drive offers thoughtful living space designed for both connection and calm. Pond views that are complete with a gazebo, Little Library, and occasional great blue heron set the tone from the moment you arrive. Inside, the dramatic two-story living room draws your eye upward with its wall of windows, filling the space with natural light and framing a treetop backdrop. The home office and dining room enjoy pond views, creating peaceful spaces for work and everyday living. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the living area and the deck overlooking mature trees and the fully fenced backyard situated next to a tranquil stream. A main-level bedroom and updated full bath provide flexible options for guests or additional workspace. Upstairs, the primary suite feels tucked away and serene. Three additional bedrooms complete the upper level, two with pond-facing windows that bring in soft light and tranquil views. The finished walk-out basement expands the way you live and entertain. Enjoy movie nights in the fully equipped home theater with projector, screen, and recliners. The adjacent game room features a convertible pool/game table, creating a ready-made entertainment zone. With a full bath and access to the hardscaped patio beneath the deck, this level is ideal for gatherings or quiet evenings at home. Wellington Forest supports a connected, active lifestyle. Sidewalks link the neighborhood to a larger loop and extend to adjoining roads with access to shopping, dining, and the American Tobacco Trail. A community pool, tennis court, and playground are just around the corner. Nearby Herndon Hills Farm offers organic berry picking in summer and local grapes in the fall and One Fun Gal Flowers offers a self-serve flower shed, which add to the unique charm of this South Durham pocket. With I-40 only two minutes away, commuting throughout the Triangle is effortless. Experience the comfort, space, and setting of 515 Wellingham Drive—schedule your tour today. **System Update Notice** Furnace for main level heating was replaced 1/8/26
