Great opportunity for a builder or investor looking for a shovel-ready project in a highly desirable Durham location. Much of the heavy lifting has already been completed, including the building permit, survey, and plans (see attached documents). This is the final remaining lot in a four-home small development, with three homes already completed. The development is designed around a shared driveway that is already in place and legally recorded by easement (see attached). The location is excellent—situated directly along the American Tobacco Trail, just over one mile from North Carolina Central University (NCCU) and less than four miles from Downtown Durham. With the permitting, planning, and infrastructure already in place, this property offers an opportunity for a quick build-and-sell strategy or a build-and-hold investment for long-term rental income. An ideal opportunity to step into a partially completed development with the major groundwork already done. .
