A large additional bedroom and full bath provides private guest accommodations, while a generous laundry and storage area, artist studio and/or workshop with a split HVAC unit, and two-car garage complete this impressive level. A rare offering in Duke Forest, this beautifully contemporary home is down the street from the Cornwallis Road Park, one mile from the Duke campus including the Duke golf course and Al Beuhler trail, two miles to the Hollow Rock Swim and Tennis Club, three miles to the Duke forest, and three miles to the Durham Performing Arts Center.
