Expansive 6-Bed Home on Private 0.44-Acre Lot Near Southpoint
This refined three-level home is the standout property in the neighborhood — the largest lot and the most private rear yard — offering scale, privacy, and finished spaces for every stage of life. Enter through a dramatic two-story foyer into a formal dining room with elegant trey ceiling and a flexible living area that’s ideal for a home office or music room. The family room centers on a gas fireplace and flows into the chef’s kitchen, which boasts custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a five-burner gas cooktop, a new refrigerator and an extra-long island that anchors gatherings. A bright sunroom off the kitchen provides an informal dining spot with direct views to the backyard.
Upstairs finds a generous primary suite finished as a restful retreat with two walk-in closets and a spa-like bath featuring dual vanities, soaking tub and separate shower. Four additional bedrooms include two ensuite options, plus a large flex space accessed by a secondary staircase — perfect for a playroom, media room or home gym. Thoughtful everyday conveniences like gorgeous hardwood floors and a dedicated laundry/drop zone keep family life organized.
The lower level is the show-stopper: fully renovated into a true walk-out suite with a full kitchen and granite counters, a large recreation room with a dual-sided gas fireplace, guest bedroom and full bath — plus a workshop area with built-in cabinet storage. A Murphy bed and pool table convey, making the lower level move-in ready for guests or multigenerational living.
Outdoor living is layered for entertaining and relaxation: an elevated back deck looks over an expansive yard, a second deck overlooks a hardscaped patio with built-in fire pit and hot tub, and a wooded buffer behind the property provides privacy. Fruit trees (pear, apple, peach, plum) and a blueberry bush, plus two fenced areas suitable for a chicken coop and a sunny vegetable garden, add lifestyle value and immediate curb appeal. Community amenities include a clubhouse, pool and tennis courts, with direct access to the American Tobacco Trail and quick drives to The Streets at Southpoint, UNC, Duke and RDU Airport. A rare combination of lot, layout, and condition — this home is ready to welcome its next chapter.

A factual market snapshot around 202 S Bend Dr.
South Durham / Southpoint remains one of the strongest suburban submarkets in the Raleigh-Durham MSA. Demand for larger single-family homes with upgraded finishes and usable outdoor space continues to outpace supply, especially within convenient commutes to RTP, UNC and Duke. Median sale prices in the broader area trade materially below this property’s price because this home sits in the upper cohort — larger square footage, premium lot, and a renovated lower level push it above typical neighborhood comps. Inventory remains tight (low-to-mid single-digit months in many parts of Durham), so well-positioned, move-in-ready homes often attract multiple offer scenarios when marketed aggressively. Price anchors: listed at $1,050,000 with an AVM near $1,060,000 and a defensible value range to $1.125M given the lot premium and finished walk-out basement. For buyers, this property represents a rare opportunity to secure scale, privacy, and multi-gen flexibility close to Southpoint retail and trail amenities.
