Old Sugar and spice and all things nice! A rare 2000+ SF classic ranch in convenient SW Durham is a must-see. Prefinished wood floors throughout the common areas, an enormous, well-organized renovated kitchen with a sweet eat-in area overlooking the beautiful gardens. Don't miss the ample laundry room just off the two car garage. The living room is grand with a ceiling to floor brick wall fireplace. In classic ranch fashion, a long hall leads to two secondary bedrooms that share a nice-sized hall bath plus a primary bedroom with its own bathroom. The present owners added solar panels and a beautiful screened porch overlooking cultivated gardens in a fenced backyard. Convenient to all things Shannon Road and Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard to the south and University Drive to the north for a quick roll to downtown.
