Tucked off a quiet, low‑traffic cul‑de‑sac, this single‑story ranch occupies two parcels totaling approximately 0.66 acres — a rare combination of privacy and convenient Durham address. The property’s outdoor presence is immediate: a long, expansive yard and a 42‑foot deck that runs the length of the rear elevation, perfect for large‑group grilling, stargazing or creating a backyard garden oasis. A detached garage/workshop sits separately from the house, offering a dedicated space for projects, storage, or conversion to a maker’s studio.
Step inside to a foyer with high ceilings and hardwood floors that continue through the living room, dining room and hallway. The living room centers on a fireplace framed by large windows that bring scale and visual connection to the yard. Adjacent, the dining area sits within easy reach of the kitchen, making weekday meals and weekend entertaining equally effortless.
The kitchen is appointed with white cabinetry, granite countertops, and a tiled backsplash, complemented by stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, microwave). Thoughtful recent updates complete the package: 2026 interior paint, exterior stain, new bedroom carpeting, refreshed bathroom flooring, and new light fixtures and window blinds. Major systems have been renewed on staggered schedules — water heater (2025), AC (2024) — while the roof was replaced in 2017, minimizing near‑term maintenance concerns.
Three bedrooms and two baths are laid out for uncomplicated living on a single level, with fresh carpet in the sleeping areas and updated bath floors. The flows and proportions are intentionally livable: day‑to‑day functions are efficient, and the public rooms feel generous without excess. Outside, the deck and deep yard amplify the footprint of the home, creating multiple outdoor living zones and long‑term possibilities for landscaping or an addition.
Location is a key part of this home’s appeal. You’re minutes from Duke University, DPAC and the cultural amenities of downtown Durham, with neighborhood staples and national retailers close by — Foster’s Market, Guglhupf Bakery & Restaurant, Namu, The Original Q Shack, along with Target, Sam’s Club and Harris Teeter. For buyers seeking single‑level convenience on a large city lot, this property is a standout — well‑maintained, updated, and positioned for immediate enjoyment or future value‑adds.
This address sits in central Durham with the best of the Triangle within easy reach: Duke University and major cultural venues like DPAC are a short drive away, while local restaurants, bakeries and markets give the neighborhood a lively, walkable feel in pockets. Residents enjoy access to everyday conveniences — grocery stores and national retailers — without sacrificing tree-lined streets and sizable residential lots. The area draws professionals, academics and families who value proximity to downtown Durham’s evolving dining and arts scene alongside stable neighborhood character.
This listing’s list price of $450,000 aligns with the valuation midpoint ($450K) and a calculated price-per-square-foot of $277. That pricing positions the home competitively for single‑family buyers seeking move‑in readiness combined with outdoor space near central Durham. While localized MLS metrics (exact days on market and inventory levels for this micro‑neighborhood) are not provided in the supplied data, single‑story homes with sizeable lots in Durham typically attract steady demand — particularly from downsizers, families wanting a yard, and buyers seeking proximity to Duke and downtown amenities. Given the recent mechanical updates (AC 2024, water heater 2025) and cosmetic refreshes in 2026, the property reduces immediate maintenance risk and should appeal to buyers looking to avoid near‑term capital expenditures. Sellers may find strong interest due to the lot size and detached workshop; buyers should act decisively when comparable homes are similarly priced. The valuation confidence is moderate (0.65), so agents should pair this estimate with current local comps and active‑market data when preparing offers or pricing adjustments.
Good access to outdoor and cultural recreation with a large private yard and deck, nearby parks and city recreation facilities, plus easy drives to Durham’s trails, greenways, and cultural venues like DPAC.
