Durham, NC 27707

Just minutes from downtown Durham, this beautifully renovated historic home sits on a rare .21-acre lot beneath a canopy of mature trees, blending timeless character with modern comfort. Located within Durham's historic district, renovations were completed in accordance with local historic preservation standards, ensuring improvements respect the architectural character of the neighborhood while introducing modern efficiency and style. Inside, 1,099 square feet of inviting living space is filled with natural light from new Andersen energy-efficient windows, creating a bright and comfortable atmosphere throughout the home. Thoughtful updates enhance everyday living while maintaining the charm and warmth that make historic homes so special. Outside you'll enjoy the newly fenced backyard, offering space for pets, gardening, entertaining, or simply relaxing under the mature trees that define this established Durham neighborhood. The sun-filled front yard provides excellent potential for flower beds, raised gardens, or a welcoming outdoor sitting area. Perfectly positioned just minutes from downtown Durham, parks, restaurants, shopping, and public transit, this home offers a lifestyle of convenience while still providing the peaceful setting of a tree-lined residential street. ***Interior photos are scheduled for later today! We just had the power turned on after receiving the official CO and we wanted the photos to show the true beauty of the home. Want to see the interior today? Open House 1-3PM and it is an Open House with Purpose. We are collecting non-perishable food donations to support families in Durham through the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. Looking forward to seeing you there!***
