Property Description

Step inside this 1957 ranch and discover the kind of charm you can't fake. Updated where it counts-kitchen, baths, windows, and roof-yet still brimming with original character, it sits on a large lot in a prime spot between Lakewood and Forest Hills. The showstopper? Just beyond the light-filled kitchen and dining room, the mid-century-vibe living room boasts a wall of windows that frame a gorgeous, ever-changing view year-round. Enjoy true single-level living with a first-floor primary suite, or claim the more spacious downstairs primary featuring an updated, Joanna Gaines-approved bath. The walk-out basement is a surprise-bright and airy with high ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace that make the den feel anything but ''basement.'' Two more bedrooms (four total), a full bath (three total), laundry and storage area, plus... shhh... a hidden room complete the lower level. Out back, a generous screened porch overlooks the fenced yard and fire-pit area-perfect for peaceful mornings, relaxing evenings, or hosted events. All this within strolling distance of Cocoa Cinnamon, Lulu and Sadie's, the YMCA, and-if you're feeling adventurous-Downtown Durham. All offers are due by 8:00 pm Sunday, August 17.
