Urban elegance meets downtown cool! This brand-new 3-bed, 2.5-bath home—plus a detached oversized 2-car garage with a 2-bed, 1-bath apartment above (ADU)—is the perfect solution to rising housing costs! Live in the main house and rent out the ADU on Airbnb or to a long-term tenant, or live in the ADU and rent out the main home. Either way, offset a significant portion of your mortgage while enjoying modern design and timeless finishes. Built with quality craftsmanship, this spacious home offers abundant natural light and rare downtown perks—like a 2-car garage! A full-width covered porch with custom millwork welcomes you inside, where a bright office/flex space features large French doors and ample windows. A hall closet and stylish half bath with a quartz vanity add convenience. The open living, dining, and kitchen area is an entertainer's dream, boasting stainless steel appliances, custom shaker-style cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large island with a breakfast bar, and a vent hood that exhausts to the exterior. A sleek tri-blade ceiling fan, recessed lighting, and large windows enhance the airy feel. At the rear, a spacious drop zone offers seating, cubbies, and coat hooks, leading to a 14' x 12' screened porch with a ceiling fan and recessed lighting—ideal for outdoor relaxation. Upstairs, the owner's suite features dual closets and a luxurious bath with a glass-enclosed shower, floor-to-ceiling tile, a dual vanity with quartz countertops, and a linen closet. Two additional bedrooms share a stylish bath with a tub/shower, recessed niches, quartz vanity, and large-format tile. A huge laundry room accommodates side-by-side appliances with extra storage. The ADU, accessed via an exterior staircase, offers a chef's kitchen with quartz counters, a breakfast bar, soft-close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and stacked laundry. The open-concept living space is bathed in natural light, while two generous bedrooms share a custom bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tile, a transom window, and a quartz-topped vanity. The oversized 2-car garage (22' wide x 24' deep with an 8' door) fits large vehicles, includes workshop space, and offers two additional storage units—one accessible from the garage and another from the exterior. A third off-street parking space adds even more flexibility. Located on a quiet, walkable, and bike-friendly street in a diverse historic area, this Gearwood Avenue home is just blocks from Cleveland-Holloway and Old North Durham. Don't miss this opportunity to own a stunning, income-generating property in booming Durham!

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.
