Rare opportunity in the highly sought-after Burch Avenue neighborhood-ideally positioned between Duke University and Downtown Durham for unmatched convenience to dining, shopping, and easy access to 147. This beautifully restored historic home was thoughtfully renovated in 2018 by Riverbank Custom Homes, seamlessly blending timeless character with modern convenience, including updated HVAC, electrical, plumbing, windows, fiber cement siding, and roof. A rare offering that masterfully preserves historic charm while delivering elevated modern sophistication. Inside, you'll find soaring ceilings, stunning heart pine floors, an abundance of natural light, and an open layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The chef's kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring an impressive 8-foot island and high-end finishes. The first-floor primary suite includes a spa-inspired wet room with a soaking tub and dual shower heads. There are 3 additional first floor bedrooms, as well as a private upstairs retreat featuring an en-suite bathroom and loft space, ideal for a dedicated home office, guest accommodations, or multi-generational living. With 3269 square feet of primarily first-floor living, the home offers both comfort and functionality. Step outside to a classic rocking chair front porch, or retreat to the show-stopping screened porch (added in 2022) with nearly 800 square feet of year-round living space complete with Trex decking, vaulted ceilings, skylights, a fireplace, and 4 natural gas heaters. It's the perfect outdoor living and dining space, no matter the season. No exaggeration, this is one of the best porches in Durham! Situated on a rare, oversized lot, this property offers endless possibilities-whether you envision adding a garage, ADU, gardening, or simply enjoying the green space (yes, even chickens!). Having a lot this big in Downtown is a rare find! Burch Avenue is known for its vibrant community feel, featuring a neighborhood park, community garden, and regular events that foster a truly unique sense of community and connection.Description
