A Peaceful Retreat in a Prime South Durham Location! Nestled on a private wooded ¾-acre lot, this lovely custom home offers the perfect blend of tranquil nature, elegant design, and everyday convenience. Large windows throughout the home showcase breathtaking views of majestic trees stretching for miles, creating a private, peaceful oasis in the heart of Durham. In the summer, with the sound of wood thrushes in the air, it's as serene a setting as one could wish for. Inside, the home has been freshly painted and features new carpet and stylish lighting, enhancing the soaring 12' ceilings and abundant natural light that make the space feel warm and inviting. At the heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen—designed for cooking with friends. Gather around the oversized island with its GE Café induction cooktop and Zephyr island hood, sip a glass from the large Thermador wine cooler, and share the joy of preparing a meal together. The kitchen also features Vermont marble countertops and a spacious breakfast area, perfect for casual dining while enjoying the stunning wooded views. Whether dining in the formal dining room or stepping out onto the deck, every gathering feels special. The first-floor primary suite is a comfortable retreat, featuring a spa-like Carrara marble bath and tranquil views of the surrounding nature. Additional bedrooms and a huge bonus room over the garage provide flexible living options—ideal as a fourth bedroom, game room, or private retreat with its own entrance. For those who love the outdoors, the best feature is the location. A three-minute walk leads to the American Tobacco Trail, offering miles of cycling and hiking through scenic woodlands. Meanwhile, the shops and restaurants along Renaissance Parkway and Southpoint Mall are just minutes away, providing the perfect balance of nature and convenience. Plus, with Highway 40 just 0.6 miles away, commuting to RTP, Duke, and UNC is quick and effortless. With a new drainage system and a newly installed vapor barrier in the crawl space, this home has been thoughtfully maintained for peace of mind. A home that invites you to enjoy nature, entertain with ease, and live within walking distance of everything you need—welcome home. Districted for Lyons Farm Elementary! NO HOA.

RR
F/J-B
Residential Rural District
The RR District is established to provide for agricultural activities and residential development on lots of one acre or greater and in conservation subdivisions. Commercial and industrial development is generally prohibited. This district is used to implement the Comprehensive Plan within those areas shown as the Rural Tier. Lands within other Tiers that have existing RR zoning are acknowledged; however, such lands may be rezoned to more intensive zoning districts consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The regulations of this district are designed to discourage the development of urban services and to encourage the maintenance of an open and rural character.
