Discover an incredible opportunity to craft your very own waterfront property, just a short stroll from the University and downtown Durham. This beautifully developed lot offers endless potential, with mature landscaping, newer septic, and direct access to the serene Oyster River. A historic barn has already been partially transformed into a cozy two-bedroom residence, featuring warm, rustic charm, exposed beams, and inviting living spaces. There's plenty of room to expand the existing layout or reimagine the open barn area as a stunning workshop, art studio, or home office. But the possibilities don’t stop there—this spacious lot also offers the potential to build a new home overlooking the river. Whether you’re envisioning a peaceful retreat, a multi-generational property, or a custom dream home, this unique property invites you to bring your imagination to life. An opportunity to combine antique charm with modern potential in a prime Durham location doesn't come along often. Showings begin at the Open Houses on Friday 1/24 from 4pm to 6pm and Saturday 1/25 from 11am to 1pm.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
