About this home

Holy Grail anyone? Renovated 3 bedroom 2 bath all one level home right off the Ellerbe Creek Trail, close to downtown, East campus, farmer’s market, and all that is special about Durham today! Completely renovated open concept kitchen, master suite addition with walk-in closet in turn key condition, yet still oozing with the charm folks crave when searching in Durham’s classic neighborhoods. Need a shrubbery? No problem, the large lot has a gracious street presence and private back yard so you can hang with the neighbors or enjoy some quiet time on the screened porch. This house really could be where the quest finally ends!

BEAUTIFUL renovation on Ruffin! This home features an intuitive layout, with hardwoods throughout, Moroccan tile, vaulted master suite with large closet and dual vanity. Private backyard with patio & screened porch is an entertainer's dream! STUNNING kitchen with dovetail custom cabinetry, Quartz Counters, 5 burner gas range & gorgeous backsplash from counter to ceiling. Located on a sleepy road in Trinity Park, feel miles away from it all, yet minutes to Duke, I85 & everything Downtown has to offer!
