Offer deadline at Noon on Sunday 2/11! Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme... but don't forget Lavender! This 1950s cottage was built solid - no delicate flower. Nestled in the heart of Colonial Village, just a few blocks from Northgate Park, and a quick bike ride to Downtown Durham! You feel the calming effects as soon as you step inside, with light filled rooms, gleaming old hardwoods and sparkling crystal door knobs. Lovely recent updates to bathrooms and kitchen, with fresh paint and tasteful fixtures throughout. Plenty of space to unwind in this flowing floor plan, with 3 bedrooms, a reading room, and 4th bedroom/home office/den! Smell the verdant Spring air as you step onto the large back deck, ready for warm weather gatherings. Your herb garden will thrive in the flat, fenced yard with full sun! Store your tinctures in the cool dry detached garage with loads of storage. Find your sanctuary in this peaceful home before the burgeoning Spring market is in full bloom!
