About this home
A little storybook moment tucked into the trees in South Durham--this charming three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home near Jordan High and Southpoint Mall sits on a .54-acre lot that feels like your own quiet escape, while still being right in the middle of everything.
Set in a peaceful, HOA-free neighborhood with wonderful neighbors, this home offers that rare balance of calm and connection--perfectly positioned between Chapel Hill/UNC and Duke, with easy access to downtown Durham, RTP, RDU Airport, and I-40. Whether it's dinner on Franklin Street, a night out in Durham, or a quick commute, getting where you need to go is simple--yet coming home still feels like a retreat.
From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal draws you in--a long driveway sets the home back from the street, creating a tucked-away feel, while mature trees frame the property and add to its quiet charm. Around back, the flat, fenced yard opens to a wooded buffer, complete with a storage shed already equipped with electricity and lighting--perfect for hobbies, storage, or a workspace--plus room to spread out, garden, or simply enjoy the setting. Deer wander through, owls settle in at dusk, and hummingbirds pass through in the warmer months. There's even a 1.5-mile neighborhood loop that makes daily walks feel like part of the rhythm of living here.
Step inside and you're welcomed by an airy two-story entry that draws your eye upward and sets the tone for the light-filled spaces beyond. Sunlight pours through the back of the home, filling the kitchen and living areas in a way that makes everyday moments feel just a little brighter. Hardwoods run across the main level, leading into a comfortable living area centered around a gas log fireplace and connected easily to the updated kitchen. Granite countertops, stainless appliances, and a gas range make the kitchen both functional and inviting, while the eat-in layout creates a natural gathering space. A separate laundry room, two pantry areas, and pull-down attic storage offer practical, everyday functionality that's hard to find.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a tray ceiling, soaking tub, separate shower, dual vanities, and a walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a renovated hall bath provide flexible space for guests, work, or whatever comes next. Details like molding and trim bring a bit of character that makes the home feel just a little more special than expected.
Out back, the newly stained deck--already equipped with a gas line--is ready for easy grilling, gatherings, and slow evenings outside, all overlooking the private, tree-lined yard.
Freshly painted with new carpet, recently power washed, and with major system updates already completed--including HVAC (2023) and furnace (2024)--this home is truly move-in ready. It's the kind of place where mornings start with sunlight in the kitchen, evenings wind down under the trees, and life settles in easily from day one--ready for its next chapter and ready to be loved.
