1007 Arnette Avenue
Durham, NC 27707Built in 1934 and tucked into the beloved Morehead Hill Neighborhood, this brick Tudor beauty is serving storybook charm all day long. Gleaming original hardwoods, glass doorknobs, quarter lunette windows, built-in cabinets, an adorable phone cubby, & secret storage nooks; she's got 'em all. But don't mistake "historic" for "high-maintenance." Thoughtful updates have brought this classic cottage firmly into the modern era. The chef-worthy kitchen has a 6 burner BlueStar range, generous storage, & room for everyone to gather around the island for charcuterie spreads, conversations over cocktails, & dinner parties that linger late into the evening. Don't be fooled by the quaint curb appeal; there is no shortage of space with four bedrooms, a large office, dining room, a living room AND a den, & a screened-in patio. The fenced backyard offers room to play, plant, unwind, or tinker away in the wired workshop. A partial basement & a huge walk-in attic give you plenty of space for storage. All this, just a few blocks from downtown Durham's celebrated restaurants, breweries, & culture. Morehead Montessori is two blocks south, while HW 147 is two blocks north...far enough away to not hear the highway hum, but near enough to get anywhere in a matter of minutes. Charming yet sophisticated. Historic yet highly livable. What an incredible opportunity to find preservation & polish in one of Durham's most treasured historic neighborhoods!
