1804 Alston Avenue
Durham, NC 27701Welcome to the little brick cottage that could! A true charmer tucked away on a dreamy, landscaped lot in historic Old North Durham just a mile from downtown. Live peacefully on a tree-lined street--this home is equal parts serene sanctuary and city slicker's delight. Step inside and feel the love: gleaming hardwood floors, oversized picture windows (hello, natural light!) that channel city loft vibes, and a layout that proves small can be mighty. The kitchen is functional and fabulous, with custom wood countertops, floating shelves, and stainless appliances. Every inch is thoughtfully used—spacious bedrooms, ample living area, and a great circular flow. The large fenced backyard is a private oasis with beautiful native plants, and a sweet old shed perfect for storage, tinkering, or dreaming big. Major behind-the-scenes upgrades (sealed crawlspace, improved attic ventilation, newer gutters and insulation) mean the heavy lifting is already done. This sweet home is a true gem—lovingly cared for, perfectly located, and brimming with personality!
