About This Home
Some homes are simply old, while others have earned the right to be called timeless. The Scruggs-Fowler House was built in 1912, and is an example of historic preservation at work. This distinguished Victorian has watched Durham grow from a tobacco town into one of the South's most dynamic cities. Set on a quiet street in Old North Durham, one of the city's original streetcar suburbs, it offers the rare opportunity to own a home that feels every bit as relevant today as it did more than a century ago. The wraparound porch is more than an architectural detail; it's an invitation. A porch swing, gently turning overhead fans, and conversations that linger well after sunset. Morning coffee tastes a little better here, and neighbors still wave as they pass. Step inside and you'll understand why historic homes continue to capture the imagination. Original hardwood floors carry the graceful patina that only time can create, whispering stories from the past of all those who have entered it's doors. Ceilings soar overhead, trimmed with crown molding, sunlight pours through oversized windows, and every room feels generous without trying too hard. The front parlor is the soul of the home. Framed by custom built-ins and anchored by a gas fireplace, it's the sort of room that effortlessly hosts movie nights, holiday gatherings, impromptu dinners, or a quiet evening with a good record playing in the background. Across the hall, behind glass-paneled doors, a beautifully proportioned room offers endless flexibility, a fourth bedroom, an inspiring office, a library, another room for gathering, or an artist's studio. It's a space that adapts as life changes. At the center of the home, the dining room bridges old and new, flowing seamlessly into a thoughtfully modern renovated kitchen that balances convenience with the home's historic character, and a picture window that keeps you connected to the peaceful backyard. A side entrance from the driveway makes everyday life surprisingly practical, whether you're returning from the farmers market or unloading groceries. The main-level primary suite is a luxury few Victorians can claim, complete with a private ensuite bath. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms, a full bath, and attic storage for everything life accumulates along the way. Outside, the nearly one-third-acre lot feels almost unimaginable this close to downtown. Fully fenced and wonderfully private, it's a canvas for gardens, long dinners under café lights, backyard games, or future possibilities. Two detached storage building add utility without sacrificing charm. The long private drive accommodates multiple vehicles with ease, while plentiful street parking means guests are always welcome. Modern stewardship is evident throughout, including a standing-seam metal roof and solar panels that quietly reduce your footprint while respecting the home's enduring architecture. Perhaps the greatest luxury, though, is the neighborhood itself. From your front door it's an easy stroll to coffee shops, neighborhood restaurants, breweries, fitness studios, and live entertainment. Downtown Durham is close enough to walk, while RTP, RDU, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh remain comfortably within reach. Homes like this aren't manufactured, they're collected over generations. They become the backdrop for birthdays, late-night conversations, front porch friendships, and stories worth telling. 309 Edward Street has been waiting for its next chapter. Perhaps it's yours. So, come say, "hello".

About the Listing Agent
Before Adage, I was a social worker, then co-founded a home furnishings business, followed by a boutique real estate firm, Inhabit, equal parts passion project and proving ground. Building businesses gave me a deep appreciation for what it takes to lead, motivate, and navigate growth through market ups and downs. It also confirmed what I probably knew all along: I’m drawn to highly relational work and not afraid of a challenge.
I’m also a serial renovator, some might say an optimist, so
