About this home
Rare opportunity to restore a character-filled early-20th-century home on 2.19 wooded acres in northern Durham County. With approximately 1,700 square ft this home features original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, vintage five-panel doors, substantial moldings, multiple fireplaces, a wood stove and many of the architectural details that give older homes their timeless appeal. Over the years, portions of the home were adapted for use as a hair salon, creating flexible-use spaces and two half baths that you could potentially reconfigure to meet your needs. The floor plan offers multiple possibilities for restoration, renovation, or customization. Properties with this much acreage and character are becoming increasingly difficult to find in Durham County. A fenced patio/backyard area and a detached multi-bay garage/workshop building provide additional functionality and potential. Surrounded by mature hardwoods, the property offers a beautiful setting and is convenient to Durham, Roxboro, and major commuting routes. This property will require repairs, renovation, updating and is being sold as-is. Buyers seeking acreage, workshop space, and the opportunity to restore a home with historic character will appreciate everything this property offers.
