Property description
Forest Hills for $419,000!! Hard to believe, but it's true. Arguably the best neighborhood in Durham - it's rare to find a house and backyard this adorable, this close to all downtown has to offer at this price. Forest Hills park is out the door a block away (tennis, pickleball, pool, walking trails and open fields galore). Hang a left and hit the hipness that is Rockwood Plaza (Nana's, The Q-Shack, Beer Study, The Boot Room, Thai Cafe). This location can't be beat. And then there is the charm of this 1950's bungalow. Renovated in 2014 with new roof, plumbing, windows, HVAC and more. Beautiful hardwood floors add to the warmth with freshly painted interior. Large primary bedroom and 2 other larger bedrooms with easy one floor living. Don't need 3 bedrooms? How about a spacious home office or a home gym. The sun fills each room. Watch the game or hang with friends in the living room with brick fire place. Stainless steel fridge, dishwasher and oven nicely appoint the kitchen. And the tiered backyard gives you room for play space, patio and just peace and quiet in your own oasis. Add a fire pit or swing set or string a hammock and kickback in privacy. Oh, did I mention the garage? Not many of those in Forest Hills homes at this price point. Perfect for your primary home or an income generating rental property.
