1902 Ward Street

Welcome to 1902 Ward Street, a thoughtfully designed home that blends timeless charm with modern comfort in the heart of Durham's Lakewood neighborhood. Perfectly situated on the corner of Ward Street and James Street, this home enjoys an abundance of natural light—especially in the mornings, when soft sunlight streams in and makes every space feel warm and welcoming. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home was created through a collaboration between the Hove Development Team and Four Over One Design, a woman-owned preservation firm deeply rooted in Durham. From the beginning, the vision was to build something that felt authentic to Lakewood's historic fabric—drawing on traditional design elements while offering the efficiency and ease of new construction. The exterior features classic four-over-one Marvin windows, 4 inch siding, stucco accents, a graceful arched roof overhang—details that give the home its signature curb appeal and help it fit seamlessly into its historic surroundings. Inside, the open-concept layout creates a natural flow between the living, dining, and kitchen spaces. Site-finished hardwood floors, a soothing neutral palette, gold hardware, and custom white oak details all come together to create a refined yet comfortable atmosphere. Large windows, especially those facing James &Ward St , let in abundant morning light, making the home feel bright and airy throughout the day. The first-floor primary suite provides true main-level living, while two additional bedrooms and a second bath offer flexibility for guests, family, or a home office. Step outside and the appeal continues. Sitting on its corner lot, the home enjoys a lovely back deck, perfect for morning coffee, evening dinners, or weekend gatherings. Whether gardening, entertaining, or simply relaxing outdoors, this space adds remarkable versatility to dailylife.1902 Ward Street is more than just a house—it's a thoughtfully crafted home, designed to honor its neighborhood, filled with light, and ready for its next chapter.
