Mornings start easy in a bright, new kitchen—white shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, gleaming tile, and stainless appliances set the scene for coffee and slow Saturdays. LVP floors carry you through open, sunlit spaces; the tiled bath feels crisp and calm. Outside, the fully fenced backyard is your private little world—space for a cornhole set, a garden box, or a happy pup. With a new roof and serviced HVAC, the big stuff is handled so you can spend your time where it matters: minutes to Duke, Ninth Street cafés, and downtown nights out.
