A crown jewel of Forest Hills Durham, just a half block to Forest Hills Park- say hello to 114 Briarcliff. This 1943 historic beauty was renovated just a few years back to update kitchen and baths, but tons of charm remains including detailed molding, refinished hardwoods, gabled ceilings, original hardware and built-ins. Great floorplan with two living spaces on the first floor, formal dining room, and a sitting area in primary bedroom. Upstairs are two more bedrooms and a full bath. A separate room above the garage (not included in sq. footage) is the home office or bonus room you're hoping for. Out back, the covered porch looks out over the flagstone patio and a lushly landscaped yard (your morning coffee spot, sorted). Prior owners were dedicated gardeners, and the property is in bloom year-round with mature perennials, azaleas, and camellias. The big-ticket items are already done, including a crawl space tune-up and recent foundation assessment for good measure. A paved drive leads to a wide parking pad and side-entry garage. Close to everything Durham loves, on a street that feels like a world of its own.
Forest Hills, located between University Drive and Chapel Hill Road, is a historic and residential Durham neighborhood with curving streets and a canopy of mature trees. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Forest Hills Park loop and the trailheads along the park’s edges, where walkers, runners, and dog-leash strolls set the daily rhythm. Early-20th-century bungalows and brick cottages sit back from the street behind deep lawns and stone retaining walls. A short drive away, the stage at DPAC and the galleries at the Nasher Museum of Art anchor local culture. Coffee counters and small plates at Cocoa Cinnamon and Guglhupf Bakery, Cafe & Biergarten add a lived-in, weekend feel.
