1108 Kentlands Drive

Durham, NC 27713

A truly rare offering in 751 South, 1108 Kentlands Drive is one of only three Charleston-style Homes by Dickerson residences built in the entire neighborhood. Framed by double stacked piazzas, timeless architecture and a uniquely private setting, this home brings a level of character, charm and scarcity that is nearly impossible to replicate. Morning coffee, evening sunsets, quiet moments above the streetscape and views toward the pocket park across the street all become part of daily life here. The thoughtful positioning of the neighboring Charleston-style home further enhances the sense of privacy, creating a setting that feels tucked away while still being beautifully connected to the rhythm of the neighborhood. Inside, the main level was designed for effortless living and memorable entertaining. Ten-foot ceilings, site-finished hardwood floors, upgraded lighting, crown molding, custom window shades and a gas fireplace with custom built-ins create a warm yet refined backdrop. The kitchen anchors the heart of the home with quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry and drawers, a high-end gas range, and cabinetry that extends to the ceiling, drawing the eye upward and adding to the elevated sense of scale. With seamless flow between the kitchen, dining area, family room and keeping room, the main level is equally suited for slow Sunday mornings, casual weeknight dinners or gathering with friends before spilling out to the piazza. All bedrooms are thoughtfully located on the second floor, creating a private and practical bedroom level. The spacious owner's suite feels especially polished with site-finished hardwoods carried through for a cohesive, elevated finish. A small loft/flex space at the top of the stairs, adjacent to two of the secondary bedrooms, adds another layer of livability, ideal for reading, play, homework, lounging or creative use. Designer wallpaper, ceiling fans and carefully selected finishes bring warmth and personality throughout. The current sellers thoughtfully permitted and fully finished the third floor, transforming it into an incredibly functional extension of the home. This level offers a private office behind French doors, a generous bonus room, dedicated flex/gym space and an additional bathroom. Whether envisioned as a work-from-home retreat, media room, guest space, fitness area or playroom, the third floor offers the kind of flexibility that allows the home to evolve beautifully with its next owners. Additional highlights include a classic white picket fenced yard, tankless hot water heater, Energy Star certification and an oversized attached garage, a rare and highly desirable feature in 751 South. The home is also just two blocks from the neighborhood's pool, clubhouse and amenity center, offering easy access to some of 751 South's most loved amenities while still enjoying the privacy created by this home's unique setting. Living in 751 South means more than just a home, it's a lifestyle. Residents enjoy 14 pocket parks, multiple playgrounds, a community garden, miles of walkable streets, and a resort-style pool with a separate kids pool, all centered around a vibrant clubhouse and fitness center. The neighborhood is known for its strong sense of community, with events like live music in the parks, outdoor movie nights, wine clubs, and seasonal celebrations bringing neighbors together year-round. All of this, just minutes from the American Tobacco Trail, Southpoint Mall, RTP, Downtown Durham, Chapel Hill, and major commuter routes, creates an unmatched balance of convenience and connection. This is where thoughtful design, natural beauty, architectural charm and community come together to create something truly special.
