Durham, NC 27704

Updated and fully fenced Durham retreat in an exceptional central location; freshly painted exterior, fully repainted interior, and a new HVAC system create a home that feels refreshed, comfortable, and truly move-in ready from the moment you arrive. Step inside and you're welcomed by warm, professionally refinished hardwood floors and a bright, open flow between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. Natural light moves easily through the home, and with ceramic tile throughout and no carpet anywhere, the look is clean, cohesive, and easy to maintain. The kitchen blends charm and function with refinished cabinetry, a newer gas range, newer microwave, and a newer refrigerator; ready for weeknight dinners or relaxed weekends at home. Just beyond the main living area, the covered and screened porch becomes your favorite ''room.'' Built with pressure-treated wood and finished with a large ceiling fan, it's the perfect setting for slow mornings with coffee, evening conversations, or simply enjoying a Carolina breeze. A dedicated storage closet keeps outdoor essentials tucked neatly away. Step into the backyard and you'll find space to spread out and enjoy. The detached pressure-treated deck is ideal for grilling or gathering with friends. A site-built storage shed offers generous room for tools, hobbies, or additional workspace. The backyard is fully fenced, creating a private and secure setting for pets, play, gardening, or quiet relaxation. Location elevates everything. Just 5 minutes to Downtown Durham's restaurants, breweries, and arts scene. Minutes to Duke University and Duke University Hospital. Convenient to North Carolina Central University and UNC-Chapel Hill. Approximately 20 minutes to Raleigh-Durham International Airport, with easy access to both the North Carolina mountains and the coast for weekend escapes. This is the kind of home that lives bigger than its footprint; updated, comfortable, and perfectly positioned in the heart of Durham.
