Property description
Tucked into one of Durham's most connected neighborhoods, this fully remodeled 1920s bungalow delivers the charm of a century-old home with the peace of mind of new construction, without the new construction price tag. Every system in this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has been replaced from the ground up. New electrical, new plumbing, new HVAC, new water heater, new roof; the kind of updates that don't show up in photos but matter most when you own a home. Inside, fresh flooring runs throughout, new cabinetry anchors the kitchen, and brand-new appliances are ready for your first meal in. Both bathrooms have been completely redesigned with modern finishes that feel clean and intentional. At 1,154 square feet on a 0.17-acre lot, the layout is efficient without feeling cramped, ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a turnkey asset in a growing market. Durham's thriving food scene, Research Triangle Park, Duke University, and major commuter routes are all within easy reach. This is the rare starter home where nothing needs to be fixed, replaced, or apologized for. Move in with confidence and start building equity from day one. Schedule your private showing today.
