About This Home

As of November 2025

Step into this enchanting Durham cottage where charm meets potential in the most unexpected ways! This adorable 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom haven is nestled on a tranquil street just a heartbeat away from downtown Durham, offering the perfect blend of city convenience and secret suburban serenity.Inside, you'll find luxurious vinyl plank floors that are as stylish as they are durable, laid throughout the home like a sleek, modern dance floor. Custom trim work and built-in bookshelves turn the living room into a cozy library or craft nook—your personal sanctuary of style and function. Historic windows flood the space with natural light, creating a warm glow that invites you to stay forever. The large kitchen is the ideal gathering place—featuring a generous peninsula and a spacious dining room that invites endless brunching, and dinner parties and culinary adventures. A pantry ensures storage is never an issue, while updated, eye-catching light fixtures and chic paint colors give the entire home a fresh, trendy vibe. But wait, the real star is outside: a sprawling 0.4-acre lot backing to lush forest! Imagine endless possibilities—an epic play space, endless games of fetch with Fido, lush gardens bursting with blooms, or the perfect spot to build a garage or dream workshop. A sturdy storage shed, large patio, and ample yard space make it the ultimate outdoor oasis. Tucked away in Warren Park—a hidden gem of a neighborhood that's close to everything but still remains affordable—this home offers a rare find: the magic of close proximity to Watts Hillandale, but at a fraction of the cost. Enjoy easy access to Ellerbe Creek Trail, Belmont Park (just 0.2 miles away), Indian Trail Park (0.5 miles), and Oval Park (less than a mile). Nature, convenience, and community all in one sparkling package! This isn't just a home; it's an extraordinary lifestyle waiting to be claimed. Your Durham adventure starts here!
