In the heart of highly sought-after Duke Forest, just moments from Duke University, this beautifully maintained home offers the perfect mix of charm, space, and convenience. Set on a peaceful, wooded lot with an expansive fenced backyard, this property delivers a rare sense of tranquility while keeping you close to Durham's best dining, shopping, and campus life. Enjoy fresh paint, new carpet, and numerous updates throughout, including a new roof (2024) and whole house generator, making this home truly move-in ready. The newly remodeled kitchen features wood flooring, new cabinets and new appliances. The layout features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, with a special bonus - what was once a fourth bedroom has been transformed into a custom walk-in closet for the primary suite, offering expansive storage but easily convertible back to a bedroom if desired. The versatile floor plan offers room to grow, adapt, and make it truly your own. Only 3 miles from Duke University West Campus and Medical Center. With its unbeatable location, thoughtful upgrades, and serene natural setting, this Duke Forest gem is the kind of home that rarely comes available and it's ready for you!
