Showings begin Saturday Aug 16th. Some homes you see once and forget. Others you may never see again. This is one of those rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities—a true generational find in the heart of Durham. Set on 1.35 acres of land, yet only three minutes from Southpoint Mall, this property offers an unmatched blend of privacy, freedom, and convenience. Surrounded by the city but zoned Rural Residential, you'll enjoy lower taxes, more flexible land use, and the feeling of being in the country without giving up the perks of in-town living. Steeped in history, this home was once part of the Herndon Family farm and has been lovingly restored, showcasing original white oak floors and even the family's prized muscadine vines. A detached three-car garage with plumbing and electrical offers endless possibilities—a future ADU, workshop, or home gym—while a two-car carport and a basement one-car garage bring the total to six covered spaces. Inside, every detail has been thoughtfully updated with a brand-new kitchen, fully renovated bathrooms, updated lighting, new PVC plumbing and PEX water lines, and a first-floor primary suite. The finished basement offers a full bathroom and a cozy movie room, creating the perfect spot for relaxing or entertaining. With a newer roof, a Trane HVAC system, and a brand-new hot water heater, this home is as turnkey as it is unique. The combination of land, history, updates, and location simply doesn't exist anywhere else in South Durham—if you miss this one, you may be waiting years to see another like it.

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.
