Overview

Stunning 1920s Craftsman, meticulously renovated and thoughtfully expanded in Watts-Hillandale, one of Durham's most coveted front-porch historic neighborhoods. Exceptional materials and details run throughout, including German lap board siding in excellent condition and a Galvalume roof and gutters. The renovation and addition were completed by one of Durham's premier builders as his private residence. Cathedral ceilings with exposed beams steal the show in the heart of the home. The eat-in kitchen has also served beautifully as a den, while quartz countertops, high-end appliances, and a reclaimed wood bar tie old and new together with ease. Pass a floor-to-ceiling feature wall of bookshelves to the spacious primary suite, with an en suite bath offering a zero-entry shower, double vanities, and a large walk-in closet thoughtfully designed with a convenient laundry pass-through. The flexible floor plan offers a front room ideal as a home office, formal dining room, or lounge. Heart pine floors run throughout the main living areas, including the spacious screened porch, while original 4-over-1 windows nod to the home's history. The walkout basement with stained concrete floors provides additional flexibility, with space for a fourth bedroom, playroom, or second office, plus a large den suited for a teen retreat, game room, or home theater. Outdoor living shines beneath a custom metal pergola with adjustable louvers, surrounded by low-maintenance native landscaping, a water garden, and thoughtfully designed drainage for peace of mind. A large framed historic photo of Watts-Hillandale, showing 1401 Maryland in its early days, conveys with the home.
