Home Description
Welcome to a 1930s Craftsman like no other—a home that blends historic charm with stunning modern updates, all nestled in the vibrant heart of Downtown Durham. With 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2,525 square feet of thoughtful design, this home is as warm and welcoming as it is stylish. You'll be captivated by the handcrafted custom ironwork on the front of the home, a nod to a previous owner's artistry. Inside, the open floor plan unfolds gracefully, filled with natural light from large windows that highlight the rich wood floors and classic Craftsman details.
The living area is a dream for entertainers and creatives alike, with space to showcase a baby grand piano without sacrificing room for cozy gatherings by the sleek modern fireplace. Just beyond, the dining space sparkles under a statement chandelier, setting the perfect mood for intimate dinners or festive celebrations. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is nothing short of perfection. An upcycled wood island, warm and full of character, anchors the space as a natural gathering spot. Glass-front cabinetry, and open shelving create a blend of elegance and function, while stainless steel appliances ensure effortless cooking and entertaining.
The first-floor primary suite is a masterpiece of versatility. Need a private retreat? It's a serene oasis. Want an entertainment lounge? The built-in Murphy bed makes it possible, allowing the space to transform to fit your lifestyle. And the bathrooms? Absolutely show-stopping. The spa-like upstairs bath features a freestanding soaking tub, a glass-enclosed rainfall shower, and a palette of crisp white tile and soft marble accents—a true sanctuary.
Step outside to the adorable fenced backyard, a private escape with a sprawling deck perfect for grilling, relaxing, or stargazing on warm Carolina nights. This isn't just a home—it's an experience. Come see it, feel it, and make it yours.
