At 1206 N Roxboro St, timeless charm meets thoughtful, modern upgrades to make a house as cool as downtown Durham itself. Completely taken down to the studs in 2019, this Old North Durham stunner is complete with high-end finishes and thoughtful owner updates. Hardwood floors and a gas fireplace with a custom mantel set the tone for cozy nights in, while built-in white oak details — from the arched bar/hutch to the upstairs open shelving add warmth and craftsmanship in every corner. The downstairs primary feels grand and luxurious with vaulted ceilings and a spacious walk-in closet and bathroom. The dedicated office is a true showstopper with a triple-arched bookshelf offering both open and closed storage. When it's time to entertain, you'll love the built-in window seats (with pull-out storage), upgraded lighting, all-new appliances, and plenty of space for family and friends around the massive, quartz kitchen island. Upstairs, curl up with your favorite book in the cozy nook and enjoy two additional spacious bedrooms and high-end full bath. Step outside to a fully landscaped, fenced backyard perfect for coffee at sunrise or late-night hangs, complete with a shed for extra storage. It's THE place to meet-up before a short stroll to your favorite show at DPAC or to catch up around the fire pit. Smart, practical updates — like a fully encapsulated crawl space with dehumidifier, whole-house air purification with UV, and smart thermostat, locks, and security system — mean you can move in and live worry-free. The best part? You're an easy bike ride or stroll to Cocoa Cinnamon, Fullsteam Brewery, the Farmers' Market, and the Durham Bulls. With charm, style, and convenience - 1206 N Roxboro is a home run.
