What first registers is the lot: a level, 0.46-acre corner parcel on Fiesta Road that gives this split-level home the sense of space you rarely find inside city limits. The 1,854-square-foot layout—constructed of brick and vinyl siding—stretches across two levels with a finished basement that expands living options beyond the main footprint. That basement, combined with the generous backyard and detached storage shed, is the reason this property reads as practical family home and investment opportunity in one.
Inside, you’ll find four bedrooms and three bathrooms arranged for flexible living. The split-level plan creates distinct zones: an elevated main living area for everyday life, bedrooms tucked away for privacy, and the finished lower level that functions as media space, home office, or guest suite. Systems include central air and a heat pump; the roof is shingle. A screened-in porch overlooks the yard, offering a quiet spot for summer evenings without the bother of insects or the need for a canopy.
The detached shed on the lot is more than storage—zoning (RR) allows accessory dwelling units, and converting this structure could generate rental income or provide a private studio for guests, multigenerational living, or short-term rental use (subject to permits). Driveway parking plus a one-car carport serve daily needs, and the lack of an HOA means freedom to adapt the property over time.
Location is quietly strategic: approximately 6 miles to downtown Durham and about 7 miles to Research Triangle Park, placing employers, dining, and cultural amenities within an easy commute. Outdoors-oriented buyers will note Falls Lake State Recreation Area within driving distance for weekend escapes. The home is offered at $399,999 (about $216 per square foot), positioned attractively against nearby comps and within a local market that has been steadily appreciating.
Practical buyers should schedule a professional inspection to confirm roof and HVAC condition and to assess conversion feasibility of the detached structure. For someone seeking a roomy family home with built-in upside—finished basement, sizable lot, screened porch, and ADU potential—4009 Fiesta Rd is a compelling entry into Durham living.
