Property Description
Extensively renovated home on nearly 0.6 acres in a prime Durham location! This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home combines significant improvements, a new HVAC system, a new water heater, and outdoor enhancements that are increasingly difficult to find in this location and on a lot this size. Inside, you'll find a bright, refreshed interior featuring updated flooring, a renovated kitchen, beautifully remodeled bathrooms, and thoughtfully improved closet spaces. The kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, refinished cabinetry, granite countertops, and stylish finishes that blend functionality with everyday appeal. Beyond the cosmetic updates, the home has undergone substantial pre-listing improvements, including a complete interior repaint with premium Sherwin-Williams paint, ceiling repairs and resurfacing, cabinet refinishing, closet additions, exterior soft washing, deck repairs, porch refinishing, and landscape enhancements. A new Carrier HVAC system and new water heater add valuable peace of mind for the next owner. Step outside and discover what truly sets this property apart. The expansive fenced yard provides room to entertain, garden, play, expand outdoor living spaces, or simply enjoy the privacy created by mature trees. The large rear deck is ideal for cookouts and gatherings, while the welcoming covered front porch offers a perfect place to start or end the day. Conveniently located near Duke University, Downtown Durham, RTP, shopping, dining, and major commuter routes, this home delivers the rare combination of extensive updates, move-in-ready condition, and a lot size that's becoming harder and harder to find.
