1913 Glendale Avenue
Durham, NC 27701Iconic California Ranch in wonderful Duke Park. Strong horizontal elements, large corner jalousie windows, deep overhangs, recessed entryway, and kitchen located up-front are hallmarks of the California ranch style home which swept the country in the 50's. This home retains many of the original features that characterize this style: the fireplace mantel incorporates the built-in bookshelves beside it, the original fir cabinets in the kitchen still have the beautiful inlaid hinges and look seamlessly modern. Contemporary elements have been introduced with granite countertops, built-in gas range with a contemporary, elegant vent hood perched overhead all installed 7 years ago. You can still use the ''Murphy-style'' ironing board and closets to the pantry and foyer still have the built-in buttons that allow the lights to come on when opened. Huge bonus for the buyer is a brand-new roof! The air conditioner was replaced in 2021 and serviced recently. The fireplace has been cleaned and checked regularly. Gas logs were removed and gas line capped in 2010, returning this to a wood-burning fireplace. The hall bathroom is a combination full bath and half bath with multiple fixtures replaced as well as the flooring. Hardwood floors run throughout most of the home, with tile in the kitchen and carpet in one of the bedrooms. Washer and dryer in the basement convey. Step down to the small screened in porch that brackets the dining room. The basement is an old-fashioned rec room and has a door to the outside. The bathroom that serves it is fully functional. There is a large deck out back from which you can admire the gardens and well-designed chicken coop. 2 additional sheds in the back.
