Historic Russell-Webb house shows off its original beauty while showcasing modern conveniences. The trim details throughout this elegant two-story foursquare with a low hipped roof and covered front porch show a level of craftsmanship and care that still wows 100 years later. The story continues inside. Marvel at the high ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors throughout, original trim and picture molding, and vintage push button light switches (don't worry, the house was fully rewired and permitted in 2014!). Downstairs the trim and window casings are stained to showcase the wood grain - a signature style of the American Foursquare. Upstairs you'll find a classic foursquare with a light filled landing and sizable bedrooms and shared bathrooms. Out back, on the main floor, there's a screened in porch where you can enjoy time in nature, bug free! Oh, and don't miss the basement with its soaring ceilings and over 1000 sq ft of storage/flex space plus a fully heated and cooled office/bonus room (195 sq ft!). An additional perk, you can walk to just about everything: Parks, DPAC, American Tobacco Campus & the Durham Bulls Ballpark, Downtown Durham, West End, The Durham Co-op, Brightleaf Square, Pauli Murray Center, Arts Annex (iykyk!), Nasher Museum, Tobacco Trail, and more!
