About this home
Venture back with me to the early 1920's. At 1006 Franklin Street in Durham, NC a battleship-grey bungalow rests on a quiet, tree-lined street where neighbors know one another and evenings are spent on front porch swings. Just across the way, the Golden Belt Manufacturing Company bustles with a rapidly growing female workforce, hand sewing drawstring pouches for loose leaf Bull Durham tobacco. The sewing room tucked beneath the bungalow's second story dormer hints that the woman who lives there may be one of those highly skilled seamstresses. Now, fast forward more than a century. The six-building textile mill has been reborn as a hub for retail, art, and office space- one of the city's oldest historical landmarks. And the grey bungalow on Franklin Street? A dedicated team of architects and designers worked tirelessly to preserve the simplistic beauty of its 1916 character, while seamlessly weaving in the utmost of modern style and convenience. The home now boasts a sophisticated kitchen with a spacious and beautifully appointed primary suite that provides both comfort and elegance. What was once a single bath has now been transformed into three and a half beautifully designed baths offering each bedroom the privacy of its own en-suite. 1006 Franklin Street stands today as a property of true historical, architectural, and cultural importance. The scent of tobacco and the mechanical hum of the old mill have long since given way to the faint chatter, music, and aromas of Golden Belt's many restaurants and creative spaces. And yet, some things remain unchanged by the years. The quiet, tree-lined street is still home to a community of neighbors and the porches where they gather on warm evenings. That not-so-little-anymore bungalow is still there, eager to get to know its new owners. Come take a gander and let the sophisticated charm and allure of local history inspire you to make 1006 Franklin Avenue your next home! Because the renovation was completed in accordance with the Golden Belt Historical Preservation Committee, the new owners will have the option to pursue official designation as a local historic landmark and are eligible for a 50% reduction in annual property tax. Additionally, First Citizens is offering eligible buyers up to a 1.125% discount off the interest rate, conventional financing has $20,000 forgivable down payment and closing cost assistance (reduces to $10,000 after) and FHA loans have a $10,000 grant available.
