Directly adjacent to Forest Hills, this lovely ranch home built in 1957 offers one-level living with hardwood floors, plenty of storage in the bright kitchen, double vanities in both bathrooms and a thoughtfully laid out floorplan that offers the flexibility to have a living/dining room plus a den as originally built, or a very spacious living room and separate dining room, both with fireplaces. The unfinished daylight basement provides a lot of storage, the attached one car garage and the potential to create whatever space you wish.
The house sits on a large, wooded .45 acre lot to be enjoyed on your two-level deck, whether having a meal al fresco or just enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. An outstanding feature of this property is the 24'x36' detached garage, ready to house your vehicles or project cars, a spacious workshop or even an artist's studio. This property provides a lot of storage space and flexibility to have everything you want in a location that is a short distance from dining in Rockwood and downtown Durham, shopping, Forest Hills Park, DPAC for a show or to catch a baseball game at DBAP.
***Please note that the 870 sq ft above grade, unfinished is the detached garage.****
