Durham, NC 27701Welcome to 1313 Dollar Avenue, a thoughtfully designed and truly versatile home in the heart of Trinity Park. It is perfectly suited for multi-generational living, conversion to a large single family home, or a variety of income-producing opportunities. The lower level offers a fully accessible living space with careful attention to comfort and ease of mobility, including a curb-less shower, wide doorways, and convenient ground-level rear entry. This level features two spacious bedrooms, large closets, and two full bathrooms, along with a large laundry room/utility room. Upstairs, a completely separate living area provides its own kitchen, laundry, two additional bedrooms, and a comfortable living room. With both interior and exterior access, the upper level can function independently. This enables privacy and independence from family members on the other floor. It's also ideal for rental income . For those seeking a more traditional layout, the home can be easily reconfigured into a generous six-bedroom, four-bath residence by converting the upstairs kitchen and living room into additional bedrooms. Set on a very quiet and friendly tree-lined street with virtually no through-traffic (Dollar Avenue is only 3 blocks long) the Trinity Park location offers exceptional walkability to Duke East Campus and easy access to the shops, dining, and cultural attractions of Downtown Durham, including the Durham Performing Arts (DPAC) and the Durham Bulls Stadium. Commuters will appreciate the convenient drives to Chapel Hill, and Research Triangle Park, Raleigh, and Raleigh-Durham International Airport. Completely reimagined and expanded in 2009 by respected local firm AG Builders, the home reflects quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design throughout. All plumbing, heating, electrical, insulation and finishes were replaced in this studs-out remodel, and addition of the second floor. Additional highlights include a detached garage (also updated during the renovation), a remarkably dry walk-in basement ideal for a workshop or storage. Inviting outdoor living spaces were added in 2009 as well. The screened porch provides a peaceful spot to unwind, while the wide front porch offers classic curb appeal and a welcoming place to gather. Whether you're seeking a flexible floor plan, investment potential, or a home that can evolve with your needs over the decades, 1313 Dollar Avenue presents a rare opportunity in one of Durham's most sought-after neighborhoods.
