About This Home

As of November 2025

Set on a 75 ft wide lot in the heart of Trinity Park, a historic neighborhood where most lots are 50 ft wide, 1015 West Trinity Avenue is a home that blends classic character with thoughtful updates—and offers space, comfort, and flexibility inside and out. The electrical system has been fully updated, and stylish new designer light fixtures have been added throughout. A gracious front porch welcomes you into a spacious and light-filled interior. The large living and dining rooms boast high ceilings, restored hardwood floors, and big windows—many of which have been painstakingly restored to their original charm. At the heart of the home is a huge eat-in kitchen, ideal for gatherings, that flows out to a beautifully designed screened porch overlooking a flat, shaded backyard. Downstairs, you'll also find a full bathroom and a flexible room that works perfectly as a guest bedroom, office, or den. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite includes a walk-in closet and en suite bath. Three additional large bedrooms—each with oversized closets—share the third full bathroom, providing room for everyone to spread out. The backyard is ready for play and relaxation, complete with a sandbox, play structure, and a large storage shed that all convey. The rare combination of both alley access and a private driveway from Trinity Avenue makes future plans for a garage or accessory dwelling unit (ADU) that much easier to realize—without compromising the usefulness or beauty of the yard. Living here means enjoying the best of Durham on foot: just 4 houses from the playground at Trinity Park, a block and a half from Duke University's East Campus, and moments from the vibrant food and cultural scene of downtown Durham. Local favorites like Monuts, Whole Foods, and the Durham Co-op Market are all close by, along with The Carolina Theatre, Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC), Brightleaf Square, and the Ninth Street shopping district. Also great proximity to George Watts Montessori Magnet, Durham School of the Arts, and of course, world-renowned Duke University. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a home with timeless character, modern comfort, and unbeatable walkability in one of Durham's most beloved neighborhoods.
