Designed for true first-floor living, this custom-built home features a main-level primary suite with an updated bath, new HVAC, an expansive covered and screened deck, and a rare 0.84-acre lot that offers privacy and room to breathe. A thoughtfully laid-out floor plan with 9'+ ceilings on the main level blends comfort, functionality, and flexibility. The main living area centers around a spacious great room with vaulted ceilings, custom built-ins, and a two-sided gas fireplace shared with the eat-in kitchen. The kitchen includes granite countertops, a large center island with bar seating, stainless steel appliances, pantry storage, and a casual dining area, while a separate formal dining room is ideal for gatherings. Indoor/outdoor living shines here, with oversized screened and covered porch spaces that feel incredibly private—one of the seller's favorite features, especially for relaxing outdoors. The main-floor primary suite is privately positioned and includes a newly updated bath and walk-in closet. Two additional main-level bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while a fourth bedroom with ensuite bath is tucked upstairs—perfect for guests or a private office. The second floor also offers a large unfinished walk-in attic with high ceilings and approx. 400+ sq ft of future expansion potential. The circular drive is a huge convenience for everyday use and hosting. Located in a tree-lined community with limited traffic and no cookie-cutter homes, this property feels tucked away—yet it's right in the heart of Durham and incredibly close to shopping, dining, healthcare, and vet services. Just minutes to shopping/dining, 10 minutes to Duke, and 15 minutes to UNC, plus neighborhood recently upgraded with Google Fiber availability for high-speed internet. No HOA
