About This Home

As of September 2023

You can be more than just gone to Carolina in your mind when you make this lovely mid-century home your own! Perched on a high spot in Watts-Hillandale - one of Durham's beloved neighborhoods - this home delivers on charm. Can't you see the sunshine on the newly painted walls? Can't you just feel the moonshine on the gorgeous new and refinished hardwood floors? So many nice things to say about this one with its flexible floor plan, fenced backyard, and close proximity to Duke and Downtown as well as walkability to coffee, Monuts, restaurants, trails, and 3 parks. Keep the retro vibe or reimagine the kitchen + an addition that features a truly modern owners' suite. Either way, this one will have you in a Carolina state of mind. (Note to Duke fans: that's love for NC, not the school!) Big offer received, so DEADLINE set for 8:30am - Monday, Aug. 21. Multiple offers
