Privacy, presence, and historic charm define the Calvin O'Briant House. Widely regarded as Durham's oldest private residence, this fully restored 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Greek Revival stunner has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its original character, with antique plank walls, heart pine floors, wavy glass windows and distinctive architectural details throughout. Sellers have added new tile in the kitchen, new hvac (2022), fresh paint, encapsulated crawl space, and gated driveway to add modern comfort, convenience and longevity. The home invites both quiet moments and lively gatherings. Savor your morning coffee on the covered front porch overlooking the garden, entertain out back with ease in any season with a screened-in porch, expansive deck, and a beautifully extended backyard or simply enjoy a family meal in the designated dining room off the kitchen. Perched above the street on a generous half-acre, the property offers a rare blend of privacy and walkability--just minutes from downtown dining, local breweries, the Durham County Library, and East End Park as it undergoes exciting improvements. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Durham history.
