A mid century modern gem on a large wooded lot in American Village. This house checks all the boxes. Ideal location on a quiet cul-de-sac minutes from Duke and downtown Durham and steps away from Duke Forest walking/running trails. A rare home with only two owners, meticulously cared for and recently updated to maintain the home's original charm. Over a half acre of woods affords privacy and plenty of room for imagination. Original hardwood floors and a wood-burning brick fireplace on the first level. Expansive great room with skylights and a high-end gas ''pot-belly'' stove for cozy winter nights. Huge windows throughout the house provide natural light and forest views all day long. The eat-in kitchen, large dining room, and elevated deck provide multiple spaces for entertaining or spending time with friends and family. Large master bedroom with ensuite and two walk-in closets. Second floor laundry room with built-in shelving and a full-sized washer and dryer (included with the house). Three additional bedrooms and a second full bath complete this very functional living space. Numerous interior closets, an over-sized two car garage, and a full-height walk-in crawl space make storage easy and convenient. Upstairs furnace and ductwork replaced and insulation added in early 2024. A must-see home in the perfect location.
