About this home

Step into a home where classic bungalow charm meets a crisp, modern aesthetic in the vibrant Duke Homestead area. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home underwent an extensive remodel in 2021, resulting in a space that feels fresh, intentional, and move-in ready. The heart of the home is an open floor plan bathed in natural light, where the living room's new paint creates a bright, airy backdrop for daily life. The kitchen is a standout feature, with sleek quartz countertops and a full suite of stainless steel appliances, making it as functional as it is beautiful. Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated to reflect the same contemporary quality found throughout the rest of the home. Beyond the interior, the screened porch offers a private retreat to enjoy the outdoors in comfort. The porch overlooks a fully fenced back yard, providing a dedicated space for gardening, recreation, or simply relaxing. It's the perfect spot for a morning coffee or an evening wind-down. The location puts the best of Durham right at your doorstep. You are minutes away from Duke University, a variety of local shopping and dining destinations, and convenient highway access for easy commuting. This bungalow offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a fully updated home in a prime, central location.
