About This Home

As of March 2024

Notable things happened in 1938: The national minimum wage was established, the Yankees won the World Series, and this awesome Arts & Crafts cottage was built. A huge front porch, two large, bright bedrooms and two sunny bathrooms, a remarkable primary bathroom renovation, exquisite updates throughout, hardwood floors, new appliances and appropriate retro light fixtures, William Morris wallpaper, new EZ breeze windows in sunroom, original picture moulding and trim, and a beautiful Carolina Garden Company retaining wall and brick patio in the garden - this well-kept property has all of the charm and character you could ever hope to find. A gem like this in Forest Hills, just over 1 mile from downtown Durham, for less than 510K is what you have been waiting for!
