Votes are in and Pickett is the ticket! Dreamy ranch in one of Durham's most central locations. Beautifully and lovingly updated, the upstairs features a "just right amount of open" kitchen with room for eat-in, flexible living space and 3 large rooms. Hardwoods throughout the upstairs. Basement is a blank slate with endless potential. Party room, guest suite, school room, home office, Zoom studio, home gym. And don't forget the yard with carport/patio! Are you the candidate that will win this house race?
Selective area! Diamond in the rough all brick ranch with an unfinished basement area. Basement area has a garage door. Use for parking or a workshop. Easy commute to Duke University and downtown Durham. Huge back yard. Minutes from lots of quaint spots to shop and hang out. Home sold as is, where is. Home will need a considerable amount of work so has been priced accordingly. Current fuel tanks will be removed prior to closing.
