About this home
Super cute Northgate Park brick bungalow, built in 1952, with character you can't fake: original pine floors, arched doorways, and light-filled rooms that feel good the second you walk in. The spacious kitchen has updated cabinets, a deep farmhouse sink, and granite counters, opening straight into the dining area for easy everyday living and entertaining. There's also a flexible bonus space in back, perfect for a home office, playroom, den, your call. Fresh paint throughout, and the major systems are already handled: new HVAC (2023), new roof (2020), whole-house surge protector (2025), vapor barrier (2024), plus a long list of thoughtful improvements over the years. This is a house that's been genuinely cared for. Outside, a detached garage offers storage, workshop space, or room to dream up something new, with plenty of yard for gardening. And don't overlook the fig tree, it's enormous and produces more fruit than one household can eat in a season.The location is why people love Northgate Park: stroll to Omie's Coffee, Redstart Foods, the park itself, and Ellerbe Creek Trail. Tacos, coffee, groceries, and downtown Durham are all just minutes away, and Ellerbe Square (the Northgate Mall reimagining) is coming too. Charming without trying too hard, updated without losing what makes it special, and clearly well loved.
