Durham, NC 27712Modern Simplicity Meets Natural Beauty Tucked on a quiet street just steps from Eno River trails, this Mid-Century Modern-inspired cutie lives larger than it looks. One-level living is made easy here: original hardwood floors flow through open-concept spaces, light pours in from more windows than most homes of its era, and the living room spills effortlessly onto a charming side patio—perfect for morning coffee or evening wine. Set on nearly half an acre, the backyard is a secluded sanctuary framed by mature trees ready to put on their fall show. Deer wander through, squirrels practice their acrobatics, and the big oak out front anchors the home with shade, charm, and birdsong. Inside, the living room shines as the heart of the home, with wide windows that catch the golden afternoon light. Step outside your front door, and in 10-15 minutes (depending on your dog's sniff quota) you'll find yourself along Nancy Rhodes Creek, meandering to the Pump Station Trail at Eno River State Park. This neighborhood is more than a collection of houses—it's a community connected by trails, conservation efforts, and neighbors who care. The Nancy Rhodes Creek Association maintains green space, preserves land behind the home, and advocates for expanding the trail network that links Valley Springs Park to the Eno. No HOA to tell you what you can and cannot do! And when you're ready to venture out: grab donuts at Early Bird, savor BBQ at Picnic, scoop up homemade ice cream at Broken Spoke Farm, or toast the day at Der Nachbar. This is a home where simplicity, community, and nature come together—beautifully.
