About This Home

Just a stone's throw from all things Downtown Durham, 1002 Shepherd Street is the beautiful bungalow you've been biding your time for, with an income-producing apartment to boot.
Walk through the radiant red front door and you're greeted by the formal living room with gas logs that will make you wish for colder weather. Another decorative fireplace in the dining room adds ambiance, and an updated kitchen brings the functionality. There is plenty of room for entertaining with a second living room, screened porch, and large deck overlooking the private, fenced-in backyard. Two bedrooms and 1.5 baths downstairs provide a flexible floor plan for all, with direct access to the screened porch from the primary bedroom. You'll forget you're in the center of town when you roll out of bed to enjoy your morning coffee overlooking rows of red roses surrounded by birds and squirrels. The one-bedroom apartment upstairs will always stay rented if you want it to, or easily convert back to a four-bedroom, single-family home. Keep it as-is to have a three-bed plus bonus/flex room with kitchenette. So many possibilities!
There is no shortage of storage with the partial basement, and new HVAC means no worries for quite a while. Morehead Montessori is only two blocks south, while 147 is two blocks north...far enough away to not hear the highway hum, but near enough to get anywhere in a matter of minutes. Classic, comfortable, and close to it all in one of Durham's most sought after historic neighborhoods...this one checks every box!
