Pinecrest

Home is one place where you shouldn’t have to compromise – on location or lifestyle. At Pinecrest, you can put down roots in a highly desirable downtown Durham location, create solid connections within a close-knit community, and enjoy your ideal home inspired by a local landmark. Located within Durham’s highly desirable Forest Hills National Historic District and spanning the picturesque, wooded grounds of the landmark Pinecrest estate, this community’s thoughtfully designed new homes will respect the history of the property and embrace the Tudor architecture of a bygone era. With development spearheaded by a local team of passionate conservationists, architects, and developers, this is an estate with a storied past getting a second chance to shine. The residences of the new Pinecrest neighborhood will be situated on the estate of the historic Cobb-Biddle House, also called Pinecrest. The 10-acre property, which is located within Durham’s Forest Hills Historic District, still includes the original 1927 Tudor Revival-style mansion and several structures and landscape elements that contributed to the home’s listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.
