About this home

Meet the Little House on Craig. Built in 1943 and tucked onto just over half an acre, this sweet Durham farmhouse has more than 80 years of stories behind it—and plenty of room for a few more. Just minutes from the Eno River, with convenient access to Duke, downtown Durham, and Chapel Hill, the location makes it easy to enjoy both the outdoors and everything the Triangle has to offer. Step inside to a bright, freshly updated interior where easygoing farmhouse charm meets a clean, modern refresh. The kitchen pairs warm wood cabinetry with QUARTZ countertops, stainless steel appliances, and matte black accents, while NEW LVP flooring carries a light, cohesive feel throughout the home. Outside, the Little House on Craig has room to breathe. There's space for gardens and dogs, backyard dinners and lazy afternoons, projects and play—or simply a little more green between you and the rest of the world. With no HOA and mature trees framing the property, it feels like a small escape while still calling Durham home. There's nothing fussy about The Little House on Craig—she's simple, sunny, freshly updated, and sitting pretty on her own patch of Durham. No HOA. .57 acre.
