1714 Terry Road
Durham, NC 277121714 Terry Rd feels like a hidden mountain retreat, yet it's right in the heart of Durham. As new construction fades behind you, the road climbs to the top of the hill where this rustic log cabin sits, offering elevated views for miles and a sense of total escape. This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home is brimming with character and ready for its next chapter. Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors just waiting to be refinished, a cozy family room with fireplace, and a kitchen with adjoining dining area that's full of potential. The layout is simple, functional, and primed for a thoughtful renovation. Step outside to the full-width front porch, the perfect place to take in the sweeping views and quiet surroundings. A rear deck (in need of repair) adds even more opportunity to expand the outdoor living space. The location offers the best of both worlds; convenient to everything Durham has to offer, yet peaceful, private, and feeling worlds away. A dream cabin home with a setting that's hard to replicate, bring your vision and unlock the potential of this one-of-a-kind hillside retreat.
