407a Edward Street
Durham, NC 27701Situated on a peaceful street in beloved Old North Durham, this darling 2-bedroom, 1-bath 1950s ranch radiates vintage charm and mid-century soul. Original hardwood floors and an open-concept living and dining area set the stage for slow mornings, record-spinning afternoons, and dreamy evenings. Period details such as the solid wood built-in bookcase bring retro character and timeless appeal, while the sunny south-facing front yard is perfect for gardening or simply soaking up the light. Modern upgrades make this nostalgic home move-in ready, including a refreshed kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and updated cabinetry, upgraded electrical panel, and added structural reinforcement for lasting comfort and peace of mind. Even more exciting, the adjoining new-build lot directly behind the property 407B Edward Street (MLS #10121656) is also available. Imagine the possibilities: expand your footprint, build a guest cottage, create a multi-generational retreat, or invest in future development, all right in the heart of Durham. Overflowing with personality and potential, this home is just moments from the Bull City's vibrant pulse and ready to steal your heart.
