Easy peasy lemon squeezy - 719 Shepherd is the perfect lemonade to quench your summer search. Historic, updated, open, and quaintly situated in storied Morehead Hill, this one level cottage with a picturesque front porch is where you'll make neighborhood friends just sittin' and rockin' away. Natural light at abundance with great windows, tall ceilings, spacious floor plan, and a white picket fence that wraps the property to keep your furry friends in. 2 bedrooms, and dare I say, 2 full bathrooms? Flexibility in the best way. Even the storage shed is updated! Fair warning: Isaac's Bagels is close enough to become a problem and the Coop is just on down - get your cookin' on. North is Duke East Campus, East is downtown, South is Morehead Montessori, and west is Main Campus - that parking pad for two is going to get mighty lonely since you won't need a car. Egad! This one's perfect.
