1918 Glendale Ave, Durham, NC 27701

Property Description

Bringing you the 1940's charm you have come to expect in Duke Park - 1918 Glendale takes it up a notch! Lush, native, pollinator plants greet you as you stroll up the walkway to the spacious and retro broken quarry tiled front porch adorned with decorative wrought iron railings. Once inside you will notice updated windows throughout and timeless hardwood floors (no carpet here!). Excellent storage (check out the attic!) throughout. The living room flaunts a wood burning fireplace and overlooks the substantial formal dining room. To your left are the two very large secondary bedrooms and sunny second bathroom complete with updated fixtures and an authentic basket weave tiled floor. From the dining room you enter the generous galley kitchen connecting you to the other wing of the home. This kitchen is bright and warm with an attractive stone backsplash and built-ins! A second family room overlooking a private courtyard awaits! From the ample but cozy den, you will access the big and bright owner's suite featuring a bathroom with two sinks and plenty of cabinet storage. The enchanting character of this home continues in the low-maintenance back yard. Brick accents and indigenous flora wrap you in appreciation for the thoughtful way this property has been treasured over the years. Raised beds of herbs, wildflowers, and fruit - the perfectly positioned shade from established oaks, the privacy allowed by the astute addition created decades ago...this fenced in back yard gives you so much more than you thought you'd find in a downtown abode. Nothing beats a single-story cottage in Duke Park. Glendale in particular has easy access to the Ellerbee Creek Trail and Club Boulevard Elementary is right around the corner. Pop over and see this gem for yourself!
