MOTIVATED SELLER! **Up to $2500 in closing costs with preferred lender!** PSST! Hey... You... The one who has grown bored with the predictable, cookie-cutter style homes that are found on every street in the nation. The one who LOVES mid-century/post-WWII design. The one who is looking for unique and charming with a touch of exclusivity: There were only about 2,500, durable, all-metal Lustron homes built in the US between 1947-1950 in an effort to provide housing for returning armed service members. Allegedly, there are only 39 of these homes in NC; now is your opportunity to own one! This Lustron Westchester Deluxe plan initially offered 3 bedrooms (one is virtually staged as an office in the photos), one bathroom, casement windows, built-ins, and a metal roof. Over time, beautiful additions and updates have been made while preserving most of the home's original features. Today, this home offers 3 fully updated bathrooms, a garage with room for a workshop or extra storage, and a spacious sunroom that could flex as a multi-generational bedroom and living space. Holiday lights go up and come down -inside and out- in a matter of minutes, just need magnetic hooks! Shaded, low-maintenance lawn! Not only do you have the opportunity to own a unique home, but the location for this one is PERFECT- Situated in the established, beautiful Duke Forest area, you'll be right in the heart of Durham! Walk, bike, or ride less than a mile to shopping, dining, and more in Lakewood! Commuting would be a breeze: Duke's West Campus is just 1.1 miles down the street, 2 miles to Duke University Medical Center, Downtown's American Tobacco Complex and the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, 3 miles to NCCU or the South Square area! 20 minutes to RDU! Ask your agent for the documents on file about this awesome home! Home is being sold as-is, and has been priced accordingly.
