Perched on a hill in the heart of Lakewood, 1702 James St lies waiting for its new owner. Sold with an extra lot for a total of .5 acres, the new owner can keep the lots together and have the grandest, most magical yard in Lakewood or check with the city about adding an addition, an ADU, or a new house altogether.

Elegant hardwood floors, wood burning fireplace with an old-world brick surround, and curved archways embody the charm we've come to know and love with the classic Durham bungalow. Luckily, tasteful and modern updates have been added where they count like the kitchen with its gas range, stainless steel sink and hideaway washer/dryer combo.

Catch the sunrise from the permitted, screened-in porch addition over the spacious, corner lot that's been fenced in to create a .5 acre oasis for lavish garden parties and furry friends. Ride your bike to Cocoa Cinnamon for a cup of coffee and a churro before heading on to Scrap Exchange, Radical Healing, Lula and Sadies, Lakewood Social and everything else downtown Durham has to offer. Or you can spend the day toiling in the wired 1 car garage/workshop. 1702 James St truly is the perfect blend of private oasis and easy, urban living.

Every once in a while a house comes along that embodies a neighborhood. One that checks all of the boxes and then some. To see it is to feel it. This is that house.
