1615 Peace Street
Durham, NC 27701Charming Duke Park home that checks several important boxes for buyers looking to get close to downtown Durham without stretching into a higher price point. Located just minutes from downtown (approximately a 5-minute drive or 20-minute walk), this home combines location, space, and major system updates in one of Durham's most established neighborhoods. Several big-ticket improvements have already been addressed, including a new roof (2024), HVAC system (2019), water heater (2020), updated windows, interior waterproofing system with sump pump and vapor barrier (2020), updated electrical panel, and appliances that convey with the home--allowing the next owner to focus on making the space their own. Hardwood floors, large picture windows, and abundant natural light give the home a bright and inviting feel throughout the main level. The layout offers flexibility for everyday living, while the lower level adds even more versatility. A generously sized partially finished basement is ideal for additional living space, recreation, workout space, or a home office, with an unfinished area perfect for storage, hobbies, or workshop space. The walk-out basement provides convenient outdoor access and additional functionality. Out back, the spacious patio offers a surprisingly private setting with plenty of room for outdoor dining, entertaining, or relaxing--creating a peaceful outdoor space that feels tucked away despite being so close to downtown. With solid fundamentals, flexible space, and room to personalize over time, this home presents a great opportunity to own in one of Durham's most established and convenient neighborhoods.
