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.

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.
