19 Learned Place
Durham, NC 27705The inventory in Duke Forest has been LEAN in the past year, so if you missed out, LESSON LEARNED. Reimagined by architect Bill Waddell and renovated down to the studs in 2023 by Maplewood Building, this mid-century mod is an example of thoughtful and intentional preservation interwoven with modern comfort and premium finishes. Nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac, the lot backs up to the Al Buehler trail. Large ceiling-to-floor windows bring the canopy of Duke Forest up close; expansive new deck will undoubtedly become the go-to gathering place but also the most enviable work-from-home space. White oak hardwood flooring, custom walnut cabinetry in kitchen, dining room, primary suite, skylit walk-in shower in the primary bath, all new Pella windows and doors ... everything in this house has been touched. There's space for everyone and everything: 5 bedrooms, several flex rooms for exercise and co-offices, a living room on the upper level and a family room on the lower level, a spacious carport with EV charger ... good things come to those who wait, but don't wait too long!
