5701 Mountain Island Drive
Durham, NC 27713Some neighborhoods quietly win people over. Woodlake is one of them. Spend a little time here, and it's easy to understand why so many residents never want to leave. Morning walks around the lakes. Peaceful pathways beneath a canopy of trees. Friendly waves from neighbors who soon become friends. Community gatherings that bring people together. Days spent at the neighborhood pool, afternoons at the playground, and a lifestyle that's becoming harder to find. Perfectly positioned on a corner lot in one of Durham's most beloved neighborhoods, this inviting 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers the opportunity to become part of that story. Inside, sunlight fills the spacious living room, where a cozy gas fireplace creates the perfect place to gather. The expanded kitchen features quartz countertops, plentiful cabinetry, generous workspace, and opens beautifully to the main living area. A flexible dining room easily adapts as a home office, playroom, or formal dining space. Upstairs, the generous primary suite features an ensuite bath and two closets, while two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, hobbies, or work-from-home needs. Step outside to the deck—an inviting spot for morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or simply unwinding at the end of the day. Just minutes from RTP, Duke, shopping, dining, the Eno River, and everyday conveniences, this home offers something that can't be added with a renovation: the opportunity to call Woodlake home.
