Historic homes NEVER come this *buttoned up*. Previous buyers had a change of heart, but sellers have addressed almost every inspection item (which were largely minor handy repairs - see documents for details). Built to last and designed to delight, this timeless brick cottage is nestled in the heart of Trinity Park, one of Durham's most beloved historic neighborhoods! Dazzling natural light streams through oversized picture windows, highlighting gorgeous original hardwoods and welcoming living spaces. A beautifully updated kitchen melds modern amenities with touches of vintage character and opens to the dining area, keeping conversation flowing while meals come together. The sweet screened porch/mudroom leads to a spacious patio and flat backyard made for garden parties and lazy Sunday afternoons. Large storage shed offers plenty of room for bikes, tools, and toys. Don't let the footprint fool you, because this charmer lives large! The oversized primary bedroom has sweet original built-ins, and generous secondary bedrooms provide space for guests, work from home life, or your creative endeavors. The bathroom is a vintage lover's dream, showcasing *pristine* original tile. Lovingly cared for with upgrades like a new roof in 2024, new paint inside and out, and recently inspected and serviced HVAC, to give you peace of mind. Enjoy a car-free lifestyle because this brick beauty is steps from Duke's East Campus, 9th Street, Whole Foods, parks, coffee shops, and a quick pedal into Downtown. A home with soul, a neighborhood with history, and the lifestyle you've been dreaming of!
