5409 Grandhaven Dr, Durham, NC 27713

Set on a level 0.3‑acre parcel in Grandale, this 3,700‑square‑foot transitional brick-and-stone home presents executive scale without pretense. From the tree-lined curb you step into a generous foyer that opens to formal and casual living areas — including a family room anchored by a fireplace and a wall of windows that frames the fenced backyard and deck. The home's footprint balances entertaining spaces with private corners: a first-floor bedroom with a full bath functions perfectly as a guest suite or dedicated home office.

The kitchen is built for family life and weeknight gatherings: a large island centers the workspace and adjoins an eat-in area that flows to the family room. Hardwood floors run through principal living spaces, and thoughtful details — a tray ceiling in the primary suite, dual vanities, and a walk-in closet — elevate daily routines. Upstairs a bonus room expands options for media, fitness, or study, while bedrooms remain distinct and well-proportioned.

Practical upgrades provide peace of mind. A new roof was installed in 2020 and the home is served by dual‑zone HVAC systems added in 2020–2021, reducing near‑term maintenance needs. Outside, the deck and patio create layered entertaining areas that overlook the fenced yard, ideal for pets and play. The attached two‑car garage and driveway parking complete the functional site plan.

With an assessed value of $724,505 and recent comparable sales in the neighborhood supporting a market range near $750K–$800K, this home is positioned attractively for buyers seeking a move‑in ready, spacious residence in a well‑located Durham community.
