Description

*PRICE REDUCTION* Located in historic Morehead Hill, Durham's very first neighborhood, this 1937 classic pairs timeless historic character with an unbeatable, incredibly walkable location. From your front porch, you can look right out over the Durham skyline and reach the very heart of the city in minutes. Stroll, bike, or scooter straight to the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, DPAC, American Tobacco Campus, the Durham Co-op Market, and the vibrant West End. When you do need to travel further, quick access to Highway 147 makes any Triangle commute effortless. Best of all, you get a rare luxury for downtown living: a long driveway with parking for days at the back of a deep lot, plus a custom storage shed that conveys with the home, giving you all the perks of downtown without the headaches of street parking. Inside, the home has been meticulously renovated top to bottom while preserving its rich architectural roots, featuring original heart pine floors, soaring smooth ceilings, and four decorative coal-era fireplaces. The generous main level offers a distinct living room, a separate family room, and a true formal dining room so everyone gets their own space. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat featuring a walk-in closet and a fully renovated spa bath with dual vanities, a deep soaking tub, and a separate glass shower. Two additional bedrooms, two and a half total baths, and a modern second-floor laundry right where the clothes actually are round out the interior. Out back, a covered patio overlooks the deep lot, all wrapped in fresh exterior paint. The home's past is fully documented and included with the sale, detailing the colorful history of its past residents from the 1920s through the 1950s. Protected by Morehead Hill Historic District guidelines with no HOA fees, the block's historic character is preserved for years to come. Come climb up to the porch and see the view for yourself.
