This beautiful 1920's craftsman bungalow in Duke Park, Durham, boasts character at every turn with original 4-over-1 sash windows, a deep covered front porch, 10' beadboard ceilings, stunning heart pine floors, crown molding, high baseboards, and glass door knobs. The kitchen is delightfully updated with glossy green casework and a butcher block countertop. There are two bedrooms, one with an elegant modern ensuite featuring a vintage cast iron shower tub and historically design-appropriate small hex floor tiles. The front office with built-in floating shelves could also double as a 3rd bedroom. Let your renovation dreams go wild with expanding the unfinished attic space - there's plenty of room to grow! The fenced private backyard features a fire pit and off-street parking. Freshly painted inside and out, this home is a true gem. Located at the start of the future Durham Rail Trail bike path and just a 5-minute drive to downtown Durham. Come take a look! Please submit all offers by 12 noon on Tuesday, June 4th. Thanks!
