Amazing investment opportunity! Large number of renovations and new construction happening in the neighborhood. Great potential to completely renovate, build a new single-family home, or possibly a duplex with ADU (architect's drawing available). Terrific location only a few blocks from Lakewood and West End restaurants and shops. Right by community parks and facilities including Lyon Park field, playground, and recreation center. Only about a mile from Duke, American Tobacco Campus, Durham Bulls, and downtown Durham.

Great property for investor or DIY home buyer. Month-to-month lease currently in place with very reliable tenants. Recent roof, new water heater, plumbing upgrades. Won't take much to spruce up this home and catch up to the rapidly improving neighborhood. Received notification from seller on 1/23/14 that he is willing to consider a rent to own offer.
