A rare find! Architecturally stunning home on a park-like lot near Downtown Durham. You'll be in awe of the open staircase that grabs your attention the moment you enter. Plenty of windows bring in natural light. The charming kitchen has glass door cabinets, unique tilework, and granite counters. The once-attached garage is now a large utility room with lots of storage - all appliances convey! A fully permitted 2-car detached garage with walk-up mezzanine storage is perfect for a workshop. But the best part of this home is the second story addition! At the top of the open staircase is an expansive area with so many possibilities. With an A-line roof, hardwood floor and walls, skylights, full bath, closets, and exposed masonry, it can be an artist's studio, living area, or third (and even fourth) bedroom! You must see this one to appreciate the unique craftsmanship! OFFER DEADLINE IS MONDAY, 4/10, AT 10:00 AM.
Charming home near downtown Durham. Hardwood floors throughout. Comes with 2 car detached garage and a huge fenced-in backyard. Well maintained and some updates done throughout the years.
