1115 Morehead Avenue
Durham, NC 27707Live the lush life in a stunning one-level contemporary masterpiece just moments from the vibrant heart of Downtown Durham. Originally a historic bungalow, this residence has been transformed by an innovative addition into a symphony of old and new. The addition and renovation were masterfully designed by Bill Waddell of Durham's own Distinctive Architecture. Drawing on his pedigree as a mentee of the legendary Arthur Cogswell and Werner Hausler, Waddell created a home that balances sleek, industrial-chic elements with warm, organic living. From the moment you enter the great room--boasting 14-foot ceilings, skylights, stunning beams, and sliding glass door panels with screens--you will appreciate the ambition of creating a space where high design meets effortless urban convenience and indoor/outdoor living in a way rarely seen stateside. Designed for the sophisticated entertainer, the home flows seamlessly from the light-drenched interior to a massive 400-square-foot courtyard deck and a private owner's terrace. Every detail has been curated for the modern lifestyle including an oversized kitchen with quartz countertops, alongside entirely new 2022 systems, roofing, and thermal-insulated windows. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a bespoke architectural sanctuary where it's golden hour all the time.
