About this home
Welcome to Riverwalk -- an extraordinary Eno River estate offering a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and versatility on 13.31 picturesque acres. This exceptional opportunity includes two parcels, 2423 & 2539 Old Oxford Road, and two distinct residences, creating a private retreat just minutes from downtown Durham.
Set along the scenic Eno River and adjacent to Penny's Bend Nature Preserve, this remarkable property offers direct access to nature while remaining convenient to everything the city has to offer. Explore nearby Eno River State Park, catch a show at DPAC or Carolina Theatre, enjoy a game at Durham Bulls Athletic Park, or dine at local favorites like It's a Southern Thing. Duke Regional Hospital is also just minutes away.
The main residence has five bedrooms per septic permit but lives like a seven-bedroom home, offering exceptional flexibility. Additional rooms provide endless possibilities -- home gym, playroom, homework study, music room, craft space, or library. There is also a dedicated home office, sun room and an in-law or au pair suite complete with kitchenette, bedroom and living room. Inside, you'll find lots of natural light, tray ceilings, hardwood floors, a cozy natural gas fireplace anchoring the family room, fresh interior paint, and brand-new carpet throughout.
Outdoor living is equally impressive. The in-ground heated fiberglass pool with water feature and adjoining hot tub create a true backyard oasis. Multiple garden structures -- including a greenhouse and chicken coop -- complement the property's mature pecan, plum, peach, black walnut, pomegranate, apple, pear, and fig trees, offering both beauty and seasonal fruit. Horses are permitted, adding to the estate's versatility. Solar panels, gutter guards, a fountain, freshly painted exterior, and expansive open riverfront areas provide thoughtful enhancements and ideal spaces for gatherings or quiet moments by the water.
Perfect for extended family, guests, or rental potential, the separate guest house features three bedrooms per septic permit, two full bathrooms, and is plumbed and ready for a full kitchen installation. Recent updates include new LVP flooring, new carpet, and fresh interior paint, making it move-in ready.
Riverwalk is a rare offering -- two homes, two parcels, 13+ acres, and Eno River frontage -- where peaceful estate living and prime Durham convenience come together in one unforgettable property.
