What started as a market muffin and is now a full blown Trinity Park Monarch! A spring market butterfly fresh on the scene with brand new siding AND a new roof for headache free check marks. Lovely wood floors and a floor plan flow with spark. Laundry closet off of the dining area and a galley kitchen with tasteful finishes and cheery tile backsplash that hits the designer mark. Three nicely sized bedrooms, the primary with access to an expansive back deck and yard for peaceful views and a setting that will please any lawn game shark. The zen sounds of the adjacent creek make for a Ruffin Street trademark. Accessible and convenient, a mere 450 feet to the Ellerbee Creek Trail for an enjoyable trip to the Farmer's Market at Durham Central Park. And just under 2 miles to Wool E. Bull's ballpark!
