Don't miss your chance to own this delightful one-level brick home, perfectly positioned just minutes from Downtown Durham, NCCU, Duke University, and major highways. Whether you're looking for your forever home or a smart investment opportunity, this property has it all! Step inside to discover a bright and welcoming layout, featuring an open living and dining area filled with natural light—thanks in part to the skylight in the kitchen. The spacious primary bedroom offers the comfort of an en-suite bath, while two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath provide space for family, guests, or a home office setup. One of the standout features is the expansive 4-season room with large windows and a separate entrance—perfect as a sunroom, creative studio, or home business space. While it's currently unheated (ductwork may be needed), it's counted as additional square footage and is ready for your finishing touches. Just off the kitchen, a flexible bonus room can serve several uses....including serving as a large pantry, home gym, or additional storage. A fenced backyard makes outdoor entertaining a breeze, and a concrete block storage shed is ready for your tools, mower, or weekend projects. The long driveway offers plenty of parking for you and your guests. With a serene layout, functional spaces, and an unbeatable location across from NCCU and just minutes to RTP, Brier Creek, and major thoroughfares, this move-in-ready gem won't last long. Schedule your tour today and imagine the possibilities! Be sure to review the NCCU Campus Master Plan as well! https://www.nccu.edu/sites/default/files/2020-12/NCCU-Campus-Master-Plan.pdf

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
