Tucked into one of Durham's most storied neighborhoods, 1016 Wells Street offers a rare blend of historic charm and thoughtful modern living. Set within the Morehead Hill Historic District, you're just steps from Forest Hills Park and a short stroll to everything downtown Durham has to offer, without giving up the quiet, tree-lined character that makes this street so special. Built circa 1935, this home reads as a Victorian-Farmhouse and has been expanded smartly over the years. At 2,900+ square feet, it's more spacious than you'd expect from the street. Inside, the primary suite is a true retreat: a well-appointed addition featuring an en suite bath and a charming third-level walk-up closet. The home's relaxed nature continues on the main level, where a screened-in porch and sunroom invite you to slow down and enjoy the seasons, while the backyard offers a serene, private escape right in the heart of the city. This is Morehead Hill living at its finest: conveniently located, historic, and quietly beautiful.
