FLEXIBLE 6-BEDROOM LAYOUT: Ideal for growing families needing dedicated home offices and guest space, or as a high-yield rental targeting the NCCU student market (estimated gross rent $5k+/mo). Prime location just minutes from NCCU, Duke, and Downtown, and 5 blocks from the American Tobacco Trail. Private parking pad for 2-3 vehicles. Fenced yard provides safe space for kids and pets. Large laundry room with 2 washers/2 dryers conveys. Own a turnkey historic mansion for a fraction of local comps. Lender credit of $3,500 available.
