A special gem! Set back from the street on a deep lot, 2618 Chapel Hill Road is a charming Durham bungalow that combines timeless historic qualities such as original refinished hardwood floors and a working brick fireplace with modern updates and aesthetic elegance. With a layout that is practical, functional, and designed for optimal flow, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home has been thoughtfully restored and modernized, and is truly move-in ready. The kitchen and bathroom have both been beautifully redone with care and quality craftsmanship. Note the brand new to-die-for Classic Retro appliances and stylish new lighting fixtures. Two sun-filled bedrooms offer peaceful retreats, while the spacious dining room featuring Serena and Lily wallpaper adds style to dressy dinner parties or informal family gatherings alike. A bonus space upstairs adds wonderful flexibility — ideal as a home office, yoga studio, or playroom. The updates and bonuses don't stop there. This 1133 square-foot home also has a brand new roof, HVAC system, upstairs mini split, updated front porch, added patio space, and fresh paint inside and out. And the . 39 acre lot is deep and wide enough for multiple uses: as a gardener's dream landscaping canvas, for adding a lap pool or ADU, or as a shady retreat for afternoon hammock naps. There's ample off-street parking for several cars, and the detached garage could be used as workshop space, additional storage, or as a She Shed or Man Cave. Beautifully landscaped and carefully restored, this bungalow has had every detail attended to, making this a home you can simply move into and enjoy. A private retreat from the bustle of the world, this property has the added bonus of being close to Duke University and Health Center, 15-501, and downtown Durham's vibrant offerings.
