If you've been looking for a home that's close to downtown but still feels like a neighborhood, 1201 Ivy might scratch that itch. Located in historic East Durham, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home was fully renovated in 2020, with all the big stuff covered, too new plumbing, electrical, windows, roof and gutters. A new HVAC system and ductwork followed in 2022. Inside, engineered oak hardwood floors run throughout a sunny, open layout. The kitchen is both pretty and practical, with quartz countertops, ceramic tile, stainless appliances, open shelving and enough room for everything from a quick takeout night to Thanksgiving dinner. Built-in cabinetry and a fireplace with gas logs give the living room plenty of character and make it a pretty great place to settle in for the new season of Ted Lasso. Out front, the covered porch is a sweet spot for morning coffee, while the side patio is basically another living room, perfect for dinner outside or s'mores around the Solo Stove. The mostly fenced yard provides room for gardening, pets and play, with just one gate needed to fully enclose the space. There's no shortage of places to become a regular. Ideal's Sandwich & Grocery, Dame's Chicken & Waffles, Sofia's Pizza and Pinheiro - Vinho e Vida (a lovely new wine bar + shop) are all nearby, with Golden Belt and downtown Durham just minutes away.
