Great neighborhood and proximity to Duke University/Downtown. This is a solid old home. NEEDS Work! But, is a great find. Very solidly built. Needs new roof, paint, refinish hardwood floor, probably update electrical and more. However, someone was living here and recently moved out. Personally I think this is a great find for an owner occupant that can do the upgrades.
