408 Anita Street

Built just three years ago atop a small hill in the highly sought-after Duke Park neighborhood, this contemporary minimalist home offers flexible living, thoughtful design, and unbeatable location. Directly connected to the future Durham Belt Line pathway, see here https://youtu.be/JXitJT0j0tE, and within walking distance of downtown amenities, it combines urban accessibility with neighborhood tranquility. The open-concept layout features expansive living spaces, a striking floating staircase, and oversized premium Andersen windows that flood the home with natural light. With 3 bedrooms, 3 en-suite full baths, and two large family rooms—one easily convertible into a fourth bedroom—the home offers ample space for privacy, connection and future modification. Versatile oversized suite prepared for ADU. Perched above the garage, the third expansive bedroom suite offers remarkable flexibility and income-generating potential. Fully insulated with sound-dampening materials and equipped with its own private entrance and porch, the space ensures both comfort and privacy for homeowners and guests alike. Thoughtfully built for easy conversion, it comes pre-wired and plumbed for a kitchenette—ideal for transforming into a self-contained studio apartment, in-law suite, or accessory dwelling unit (ADU). Similar configurations in the neighborhood rent for up to $2,400/month, making this a prime opportunity for extended family living or passive rental income. The penthouse room is perfect for working from home and opens onto a spacious rooftop patio—an entertainer's dream with room for dozens of guests to dine, lounge or play corn hole. The rooftop is also plumbed with hot and cold water, allowing for the future addition of an outdoor kitchen or shower. Located in a serene, low-traffic pocket of Duke Park that's hard to find and even harder to leave, this home is a rare opportunity to enjoy forward-thinking design, indoor-outdoor living, and long-term flexibility in one of Durham's most beloved neighborhoods.
