About this home

A home with soul, rooted in nature and genuine neighborly warmth, close to all that makes Durham Cool.

This 1926 bungalow is a secluded retreat in the trees, right in the heart of Durham. Good energy, solid bones, and generous living spaces provide a natural setting for entertaining, quiet mornings, and everyday life. Outside, the yard is a private sanctuary of native plants, lively pollinators, flashes of cardinals, and the familiar calls of barred owls. The tall basement offers storage, workshop space, or expansion potential.

Morning sunrises are lovely from the back deck, but it's hard to beat a Durham sunset from the front porch. The glorious Tulip Magnolia in the front yard is one of the biggest around. Neighbors walk the street in February just to enjoy the blooms. It's also a great climbing tree! The backyard Coral Bark Japanese Maple puts on a fabulous show in the fall.

A wonderful location for walking and biking and enjoying Durham's natural resources, with easy access to the Ellerbee Creek Trail and soon-to-be-close proximity to the Durham Rail Trail. Simply Exploring the yard and gardens, and beloved nearby creek, you can feel instantly connected to nature.

Old North Durham is an incredible neighborhood. Geer Street Garden is an easy walk, with delicious food and amazing staff. Louella, Conniption, and Durham Beer Garden are also neighborhood favorites, with plenty of other "eatertainment" options including live music at Motorco, Urban Axes, Boxcar, the Durham Farmer's Market and Durham Food Hall and more all within walking distance.
