About this home

One hundred years ago, someone ordered a Sear's Maywood Model kit and built this now-historic gem on a quiet little street in the Watts Hospital Hillandale neighborhood. A high-arched hooded porch roof adorns the front of the home, and original wood windows festoon all of the rooms on the main level. High ceilings, plaster walls, crown moldings, original brass knobs, wood doors, a butler's pantry for dish and dry goods storage--all situated on a .21-acre lot with a fenced backyard. A long, light-filled living room spans the width of the house, with a fireplace (gas logs) that is flanked by built-in bookshelves. Off that living room is a lovely screened side porch. A formal dining room is plenty spacious for meals for two or ten. At the back of the house is a kitchen with loads of storage, a butler's pantry, and a kitchen bar/island. The mud porch off the kitchen is heated and cooled and is where the laundry is located. Off the kitchen find two bedrooms with surprisingly large closets and a hall bath. Upstairs is the primary bedroom with plenty of room for a home office, knee-wall attic storage, a walk-in closet, and a full bathroom. The backyard is fenced and there is a shed at the end of the driveway. Previous owners applied for an historic plaque from Preservation Durham and thus this house is designated the Massey-Carver House. This property is part of the local historic district and the national historic district overlay. This home is solid but in need of updates/repairs and is priced as such.
