Durham, NC 27707Finally, the home you've been waiting for! This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom mid-century brick ranch (built in 1955) sits on a generous 0.73-acre lot in Rockwood Heights and perfectly blends vintage charm with modern updates. Inside, you'll find beautiful original hardwood floors, original knotty pine paneling, new carpet, updated light fixtures and fans, plus a freshly renovated Flex/Bonus Room with LVP flooring, fresh paint, a new ceiling, and its own brand new mini-split system—ideal for a game room, studio, bedroom, or playroom. Plant lovers will adore the attached sunroom/greenhouse, perfect for a year-round indoor garden. The home still features its iconic 1950s pink bathroom—complete with matching sink, tub, and commode. Whether you embrace the retro look or plan an update, you'll appreciate its character (and rumor has it, vintage fixtures like these are sought-after on the resale market!). Out back, the large fenced yard offers endless possibilities: garden beds, winding paver paths, a large brick patio, green space, and natural areas. Brand-new walkways welcome guests either to the front door or to the backyard from the driveway to the spacious patio—perfect for dining al fresco under the older, but functioning awning. On the far side of the home, a potting shed/greenhouse awaits some TLC for the garden enthusiast. Best of all, you'll be just minutes by foot or by car from some of Durham's favorite spots: Beer Study & The Boot Room, NuvoTaco, The Original Q-Shack, Thai Café, Nana's, Foster's Market, Guglhupf, Wine Authorities, The Refectory Café and thrift stores. Shops in the South Square area are a short distance away. While the seller has made many thoughtful updates, the kitchen and bathrooms remain original—ready for the new owner's personal touch. Home is being sold ''AS IS.'' Seller: Ann Glasson (deed not updated to reflect her name change).
