Property Description

Everyone's talking about interest rates. Meanwhile... this brick ranch in Duke Homestead is sitting here quietly like, ''Hi there! I'm underpriced. You can still build equity here.'' Built in 1959. 3 bedrooms. 2 full baths. Fireplace. Almost a half-acre lot (.46!). Covered aluminum carport. Excellent bones. Great neighborhood. Most importantly this little home is not cloaked in trendy 2023 tile or gray LVP, that will be ''cringe'' in 2026! Instead you'll find real hardwoods here! Homes of similar size in the neighborhood that were updated have sold into the $400,000's. So, if you're an investor? This is that classic ''light value-add'' buy where you clean it up, throw on some modern finishes, and watch the pro forma start to smile. If you're a would-be buyer just trying to survive this economy? You can buy this now, do strategic upgrades over time, and slowly convert it into your dream home. No mark up to pay here! AND this property is zoned RS-10, which opens up additional development potential for anyone thinking about density, ADUs, and future Durham land value plays. Either way, this one ticks. Duke Homestead area: Central, convenient, near everything, with real upside still left. In a world of overpriced, pre-packaged renos. this place is refreshingly honest: It is what it is... and what it could be is fantastic.
