Country Charm Meets Modern Comfort on 4.11 Acres in Durham. Tucked away on a private, wooded 4.11-acre lot, this farmhouse-style ranch offers the best of both worlds: peaceful country living just minutes from town. Surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, this home is a retreat where privacy, nature, and modern updates blend seamlessly. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the spacious feel created by tall 10-foot ceilings, an open floor plan and gleaming hardwoods that run throughout the home. In the front of the home you'll find a light-filled addition with a large recreation area, spacious dining area and updated farmhouse-style kitchen featuring granite countertops, a large kitchen island, custom cabinetry, and newer appliances (including a wine fridge). Head to the east side of the home to access three large bedrooms with hardwood flooring, tall ceilings, and oversized windows that bring in beautiful natural light. There's also a versatile bonus room that can serve as a home office, playroom, gym, or creative studio—whatever fits your lifestyle best. The updated bathroom feels like a private spa, with a walk-in tiled shower, dual vanity, and a charming claw-foot bathtub that's ideal for soaking at the end of the day. A separate laundry room makes everyday chores simple and convenient. Partially finished attic offers additional storage and potential for additional living space. The highlight of this property are the endless amenities for outdoor living. Enjoy the changing seasons from the welcoming covered front porch, the expansive back deck, or the covered deck area that's perfect for grilling, entertaining, or simply taking in the natural beauty that surrounds the property. With 4.11 acres, there's ample space for gardening, outdoor activities, and even hobby farming. A large barn and additional sheds provide plenty of storage for tools, equipment, or even a workshop space. This home is a rare find—whether you dream of growing a garden, keeping chickens, hosting friends on the deck, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet of a private wooded lot. Don't miss your chance to experience the beauty of country living with the convenience of town just minutes away.

RR
F/J-B
Residential Rural District
The RR District is established to provide for agricultural activities and residential development on lots of one acre or greater and in conservation subdivisions. Commercial and industrial development is generally prohibited. This district is used to implement the Comprehensive Plan within those areas shown as the Rural Tier. Lands within other Tiers that have existing RR zoning are acknowledged; however, such lands may be rezoned to more intensive zoning districts consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The regulations of this district are designed to discourage the development of urban services and to encourage the maintenance of an open and rural character.
