This neighborhood of mill houses in East Durham was developed for the workers at the Golden Belt Manufacturing Plant at the turn of the 20th century. The Plant, one block away from the home, has been renovated into art studios, restaurants, offices and an event space.
The neighborhood is full of young families and homes being renovated. While this house is at the end of a quiet dead end street, it is adjacent to an active road. A fence is in the works, but has not yet been installed.
You are also a mile to the center of downtown Durham. Walk to the Farmer’s Market on Saturday, jog to the American Tobacco Trail, or take yourself on a progressive food tour through downtown and back! You will feel far from the bustle, but you can’t find a better location to relax between activities.
You’ll have the entire home and property to yourself, including plenty of free street parking for 2 cars.
The yard and porch will be phase 2 of the improvement. You are welcome to use them as they are now, there just isn’t much furniture!
NOTE: While we’re pet friendly, the yard is NOT fenced!
I’m delighted to share my home with you! I’ve renovated and decorated this original mill house to retain the original charm, highlight historic features and seamlessly incorporate modern amenities. I hope you’ll find it as cozy as I do! Bright bathrooms and unique furniture sourced from local reuse shops provide accents to the rich original wood floors, classic molding and high ceilings.
The kitchen and living room are open concept, structured around the original brick fireplace. Enjoy streaming your favorite shows or movies in the living room on the smart TV, or cooking a meal in the spacious kitchen.
Primary bedroom includes a private bathroom. Second bedroom has a desk for use as a private workspace.
Best of all - entertain your friends & family on the piano in the entry hall!
