This charming three bedroom bungalow on half an acre is a beautiful retreat, minutes from downtown Durham. From the natural light that bathes the open living spaces to the refinished hardwood floors that span the entire home, this property exudes 1930s charm balanced by modern updates. Enjoy the NC spring while rocking on the covered front porch, grilling on the back deck, or relaxing around the built-in fire pit. All just a 5 minute bike ride from Fosters or a 9 minute spin to Beer Study!
