Residenza Unifamiliare A Durham

With its east-facing orientation, ample privacy, and a distance from through-traffic, this charming corner lot home in southeast Durham combines tranquil vibes with vibrant community living. The current owners built a life here around that setting: mornings on the screened porch, evenings by the gas fireplace, a home office tucked behind French doors for focus, and a setting known for its friendly neighbors, active social calendar, and community events. The home’s HardiPlank siding and durable shingle roof set a low-maintenance tone that carries through the entire property. A screened porch with ceiling fan and a tranquil private patio create two distinct outdoor retreats, while the fenced yard takes full advantage of the corner lot’s added privacy. A 2-car garage includes a water spigot, and a Ring doorbell camera provides smart home security. And with the HOA handling weekly lawn mowing and shrubbery care, the exterior stays polished with minimal owner upkeep. Inside, 9-foot ceilings, luxury vinyl plank flooring, arched doorways, and solid interior doors set a tone of quality that continues throughout the home. A carpeted, front-facing guest bedroom with ceiling fan on the main floor offers flexibility for visitors or single-level living, conveniently situated near a hall closet with an interior water shut-off valve. Just off the entry, a full guest bath features cultured marble counters, soft-close vanity drawers, and a tiled tub/shower combo. The main living space is thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light throughout, and plantation shutters and transom windows frame a cozy gas fireplace. Windows and doors open directly onto the patio, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living. Custom built-ins add both character and functional storage, and the dining area is generously sized—easily accommodating a large table that seats eight plus a sideboard, with plenty of room to spare. A tray ceiling with designer pendant lighting adds a touch of architectural polish, while a breakfast bar offers a casual spot for quick meals and everyday socializing. The kitchen delivers on both style and function, with quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, and a marble tile backsplash anchoring the space. Pull-out shelves in the lower cabinets make everyday use effortless, and a double-door pantry adds generous storage for staples and small appliances. A dual fuel stove with a stainless steel hood, pairs with the full stainless appliance package, including a microwave/convection oven combo and a side-by-side refrigerator with water and ice dispenser. Just off the main living area, a dedicated home office provides a quiet sanctuary, complete with French doors for privacy and built-in bookshelves—equally suited to remote work or a peaceful reading retreat. The primary suite is a true oasis, with tray ceilings, transom windows that bring in abundant natural light, a spacious walk-in closet, and plenty of room for a king-sized bed. The en suite bath boasts a double vanity, separate water closet, and dedicated linen closet. Private porch access off the bedroom extends the living space outdoors. The laundry room includes a side-by-side washer and dryer, a utility sink, and Formica counter and shelving, with dedicated space for folding and storage. Upstairs, a generous loft common area offers flexible space for a second living room or media room. An additional bedroom with ceiling fan and full bath provides comfortable accommodations, while closet storage and attic access with extra room under the eaves add practical square footage. Throughout this level, 8-foot ceilings keep the space feeling open. The home is equipped with an electric water heater and a two-zone Lennox HVAC system, ensuring efficient comfort throughout.
