PRICED RIGHT! Have you ever wanted to live in a Butterfly House (yes, you are looking at a butterfly roof!) - Your opportunity awaits! 1617 Shawnee is a dreamy, Mid-Century Modern, California-cool abode whose full potential has yet to be realized. This iconic home was created by Durham native, TW Wilkinson in 1957 and has been a show stopper ever since. Own a piece of Durham history (https://www.opendurham.org/buildings/1617-shawnee-street-alfred-henderson-king-house). A nice driveway leading you to the tall carport welcomes you home. Built-in, stone planter boxes are overflowing with beautiful flora. A gorgeous, custom-made metal handrail adorns the front steps - a special thank you to local artist, Andrew Preiss for this one-of-a-kind piece of art! Contemporary shapes and a variety of textures create allure before you even walk in the door. To prepare this home for the market we have given it fresh paint, inside and out. You'll open the deep green, solid wood front door and arrive on original parquet flooring overlooking the three secondary bedrooms and their bathroom on this, the top floor. To your left is a modest set of stairs guiding you to your main living level with solid floors and massive windows - natural light and nature views flood in. Your dining room is sizable and your family room is large. An attractive fireplace takes the stage and a recently painted upper deck gives you the outdoor space you need to grill and entertain. The kitchen has just been refreshed with quartz counters, revived cabinetry, and new stainless steel appliances. You'll notice the warm light streaming in from every direction. Our next floor offers a landing, the main suite, and the laundry/utility room with brand new water heater and a 1/2 bathroom. The main suite in huge! Two satisfactory closets and an improved en suite make this space feel fresh and private. You can exit this floor and pop outside through an unassuming addition and land on the lower deck. The basement floor offers a cozy, hip vibe. A checkerboard linoleum paints the floor where you have your den, second fireplace, large entertaining bar, and potential for a second kitchen-like entertaining space. The same enormous windows make you feel like you are at one with the environment. A tall, black storage unit conveys so that you can house your family games the moment you move in. This floor gives another access to the exterior and the paths that frame this special property. Outside is private and serene. A lovely walkway takes you from the front of your home to the wooded lot that conveys with this one (1609 Shawnee)! Your stroll takes you next to a sweet stream and over a bridge to a secret hideaway! The back yard is lush with established greenery and mature trees. The location is excellent! You are in the quieter section of the coveted Duke Park neighborhood with the larger lots! Across the street is a neighborhood owned 2-3 acre preserve where you can meander among the trees. The Duke Park trails and playground is just a short 8-10 minute stroll away! There is more potential, character, and charm at 1617 Shawnee Street than at any home you have seen in a while. Come, let your imagination run wild and tour this truly fantastic property today!
