1007 Virgie Street is a rare combination of modern design, high-end finishes and an unbeatable Ninth Street location. Completed in 2021 and crafted by Riverbank Custom Homes with design lead by Chad Wilkins and interiors by Robert MacNeill, the home offers 2,305 sqft across two intentional levels. The main level opens to a generous living/dining/kitchen axis where hardwood floors, a dramatic floating staircase and built-ins set the tone. The kitchen is built for entertaining — a stainless appliance package, gas range, oversized island and thoughtful pantry and prep zones provide both form and function.
Upstairs the primary suite is a calm, tactile retreat with tongue-and-groove ceiling detail, dual vanities, soaking tub, oversized shower and a palatial walk-in closet. An upstairs flex/media room with a custom media console creates a private TV or office space; the additional bedroom has an en-suite bath ideal for guests or live-in help. Throughout the home you’ll find thoughtful finish selections — tile, hardwood, strategically placed windows with blinds and screens, and efficient HVAC with central air and gas-forced heat.
What sets this property apart is the backyard: professionally designed by Preston Montague, the private outdoor living area includes planted privacy buffers, a saltwater plunge pool/hot tub and entertaining terraces that extend daily living outdoors. The yard flows directly from the kitchen/dining which makes the home a natural for summer gatherings and quiet evenings under the stars.
Location is exceptional — stroll to Ninth Street favorites including Cocoa Cinnamon, Monuts and Vin Rouge, and enjoy easy access to Duke University, Sarah P. Duke Gardens and downtown Durham’s cultural destinations. This is a move-in-ready, designer-built home that blends modern lines with warm Craftsman details and rare outdoor amenities in a walkable, highly demanded neighborhood.
