Rockwood really is the perfect balance between peaceful residential living and urban convenience. Primarily comprised of mid-century ranch and Cape Cod-style homes. Tucked away amongst tree-lined streets, it's walkable to many of Durham's best food and cultural establishments.
225 W Woodridge is a vibrant canvas of colors and textures. The owner's curated selection of wall and ceiling colors create textures that complement light fixture styles and furnishings. Through skill and ingenuity this home presents extensive modern upgrades. The renovated kitchen (with walk-in pantry) features quartzite countertops & backsplash, porcelain tile flooring, upgraded lighting w/dimmers & under-cabinet illumination, refreshed original cabinetry, and a full suite of LG stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms have been fully modernized, including a spa-like primary bath with marble and limestone finishes, walk-in shower, and double vanity. Interior highlights include refinished original white oak hardwood floors, upgraded lighting and fixtures, restored original doors, and 17 new Pella windows providing abundant natural light. The fully conditioned basement offers flexible living space with new flooring, updated lighting, moisture control systems, and a second fireplace. Ideal for guest, office, media. At 492 sq. ft. it's a true second living room. Storage space is abundant from the walkup attic to the large unfinished basement (1172 sq. ft).
Major improvements include a NEW ROOF (2018), engineered foundation support system, and a brand-new Bosch dual-fuel HVAC system (2026) servicing both above- and below-grade living areas.
Outdoor living is equally impressive with a large deck leading to a hot tub under the trees, professional landscaping with irrigation, lighting and a fully fenced yard with custom gates and privacy features and a diverse mix of trees, shrubs, and perennials.
Pro tip: leave the car at home and utilize the short trail at the end of Pineview Road
leading directly to Saltbox Seafood, Guglhupf, Foster's Market, or walk down Woodridge to the Rockwood shopping center to Beer Study, The Boot Room, Thai Cafe and Rumors thrift and vintage shop.
