About this home
Every neighborhood has that one house people picture when they hear the words "white picket fence." At 1511 Sassafras Hill Street, that's this house. Within a quiet cul-de-sac in North Durham, it has the kind of curb appeal that feels familiar the moment you pull up. Inside, the first-floor primary suite makes everyday living easy, while the updated kitchen: with granite countertops, a gas range, and a large island, naturally becomes the center of the home. Upstairs, the loft isn't just extra square footage. It's the spot for the home office, the workout room, or the place where hobbies don't have to compete for space. One favorite detail is the detached garage connected by a breezeway, giving shelter when you need to get to the garage on a rainy day. It's a feature you don't see often, adding a little character while creating the perfect spot for a workshop, extra storage, or simply keeping a bit of separation between home and hobbies. The sealed crawlspace is a major upgrade that helps manage moisture, improve efficiency, and provide a little extra peace of mind. Step out back and you're greeted by a wooded backdrop, fully fenced. It's the kind of setting that makes a cup of coffee last a little longer in the morning. A white picket fence, a quiet cul-de-sac, and a porch light waiting at the end of the day. Some things don't need reinventing, they just need the right people to call them home. *Seller is open to concessions pending appropriate offer.*
