Property Description
The Nichols-Ray House (circa 1895) is just 5 - 10 car-free minutes to much of Downtown Durham's amazing restaurants, bars, and other venues. A 2018 restoration added NEW wiring, plumbing, roof, tankless hot water heater, and other modern conveniences while lovingly retaining and reviving many original details. The house boasts 2 primary en-suites, 10' ceilings, 2-over-2 wavy glass windows, pine German clapboard siding, original doors, and corner block moldings. The cheerful galley kitchen welcomes you to the home and offers easy side-door access to a charming garden filled with blackberries, herbs, tomatoes, and peppers. There's plenty of street parking plus a private gravel driveway that passes-through to a paved back alley, offering open parking in the back and access to/from Corporation St. ** No historic restrictions Note1: Durham Co. tax records indicate the house was built in 1920; however, the 2018 Preservation Durham Home Tour booklet claims it was likely built circa 1895. Note 2: May 22, 2026 City of Durham approved budget $1.5M for conversion of Roxboro and Mangum to 2-way.
