This is a rare chance to own a beautifully maintained Craftsman home on a generous .40-acre lot backing up to HOA owned forest land. Tucked away in a quiet community yet just minutes from Duke University and downtown Durham, it offers that hard-to-find mix of privacy and convenience. The layout is as functional as it is inviting. A main-level primary suite with well appointed bath provides a peaceful escape, while the open living room and kitchen - complete with large island, granite counters, double ovens, gas range, and a sunny breakfast nook - make everyday living easy. Walls of windows bring in natural light and frame views of the trees beyond. A formal dining room is ready for holiday gatherings, and the gas-log fireplace is perfect for curling up on cooler evenings. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms, two full baths, and a huge loft/bonus room, giving everyone in the household space to spread out. Outdoors, there's a welcoming front porch for neighborly chats and a back deck that's ideal for grilling, birdwatching, or simply relaxing. This home has been thoughtfully cared for with a new roof (2022), new HVAC (2022), and freshly painted deck (2025). The neighborhood itself is a gem, with sidewalks for evening strolls and easy access to miles of Duke Forest trails. Commuting is effortless with quick connections to RTP and RDU; but with everything this home offers, you may not want to leave.
