Discover your private retreat with an in-law suite or rental space. The lot backs to the scenic Eno River—perfect for nature lovers and a resort feel. From your own backyard, launch a kayak into the river or simply relax nearly 40 feet above the water as great blue herons glide by at eye level. Across the river lies River Forest Park, city-owned land that ensures your wilderness view remains protected from development. Rest assured, this property is not in a floodplain and has remained dry through even the heaviest storms, including Hurricane Fran. Inside, this thoughtfully designed home offers a versatile floor plan with hardwood floors throughout most of the main level. The kitchen, family room, and dining area flow together seamlessly, creating a welcoming space for both intimate gatherings and lively parties, while a separate den provides a quiet retreat. Heated floors in the kitchen and family room keep you cozy in the winter, and two wood-burning fireplaces invite evenings by the fire. The hand-hammered copper entertainment sink is sure to impress guests. The walk-out lower level is ideal as an in-law suite or rental opportunity, featuring its own entrance, a kitchenette, a spacious living room with a fireplace, a bedroom, and a full bath. All this, just minutes from all Durham has to offer. Shopping, dining, and major roadways—offering a rare blend of natural beauty, comfort, and convenience.
