Tucked into the woods along Campus Drive—perfectly situated between Duke's Main and East campuses—this home is a dream come true for any true Blue Devil. But honestly, it's just as amazing for a Tar Heel or a member of the Wolfpack. Not sure what all the mascot talk is about? Spend a little time in the heart of ACC country, and you'll understand—and love—it.
You'll be just minutes walk from the Nasher Museum, the Rubenstein Arts Center, and Sarah P. Duke Gardens. On game day, it's a 10-minute bike ride (even less with an e-bike) to Wallace Wade Stadium or Cameron Indoor. Hungry? It's just five minutes by bike to Whole Foods and the shops and restaurants of Ninth Street.
Of course, you might prefer to cook at home in the stunning kitchen—or order in and spend more time relaxing in one of the many incredible outdoor spaces: the 2 patios, the covered porch, the second floor ''Sky Porch,'' or the woods-side hammock.
Need to be productive between all the fun? You'll find a fantastic first-floor office, ideal for client meetings or focused work, plus a light-filled ''treehouse'' office on the second floor for creative inspiration.
There's even a home gym in the sunroom, perfect for squeezing in a workout before a day filled with art, culture, sports, food, and maybe a little work. And when it's finally time to wind down, the spacious primary suite—with its vaulted ceiling and luxurious bath—is conveniently located on the first floor. Still have energy after a long soak or shower? Head downstairs to shoot some pool or tinker in the workshop. Or just curl up by the fireplace in the cozy living room with a glass of wine or bourbon.
Lovingly maintained for over 30 years by a professional architect, this home has been both deeply enjoyed and meticulously cared for—ready to be passed on in exceptional condition to its next lucky owner.
