Want to be in the thick of it in all things Durham? Check out this sweet little Walltown bungalow just a quick roll/stroll to East Campus, Walltown Recreation Center, 9th St, and all things downtown. The rooms are spacious with a private en suite main BR at the back of the house. The yard is big and fenced in. Alley access allows for private parking if so desired, though there is a driveway and street parking as well. Sweet, deep porch with new fans frames the front of the house with a small porch and deck in the back.

Built in 1939 for Robert Garrison Jr, an employee at the Fidelity Bank, this clinker brick Tudor Cottage offers all of the historic charm we crave with the modern updates we must have: new roof, new HVAC, new water heater all installed in 2023. Basement waterproofed. Kitchen updated. The coolest work-from-home office built into the eaves upstairs will make you the envy of all your work-from-home friends. Heated and cooled sunroom at the back of the house has charming jalousie windows and brick floor. Outside, a large urban lot (.24 acres) offers a big side yard and back yard for play. Detached wired and plumbed outbuilding could be transformed to a guest house or art studio (presently used for great additional storage in an already storage-friendly home). Don't miss the rare historic details in this one: round-batten arch entry door with decorative stone surround, 6 over 6 sash windows, clinker brick so pronounced you might be tempted to boulder instead of going to the climbing gym. Roll/stroll to Forest Hills Park, all things downtown, restaurants galore. Elem school slated for Morehead Mont 24-25 school year.

No need to chase your tail anymore in this inventory-lean market: this 1955 split level completes the circle: a beautifully reimagined kitchen/LR/DR renovation thoughtfully detailed in 2016 by architect Arielle Condoret Schechter with cherry flush overlay cabinets, which brings warmth and character to the home; the DR echoes the warmth of the kitchen with a built-in wall-to-wall banquette. In the LR, Schecter used Heath ceramic dimensional tile and a slab of black granite to create a unique centerpiece for the home. Upstairs find two ample bedrooms that share a hall bath and a primary bedroom with renovated bath. Downstairs is a family room, kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom with its own entrance PLUS 800 SF of storage. Don't miss the amazing and private screened porch overlooking the fenced and landscaped backyard. Specimen plants adorn the front and backyards.
