709 North Street
Durham, NC 27701Step into a 1940s Craftsman that's aged like fine wine — solid, stylish, and beautifully maintained. Just blocks from Durham's favorite spots like the Farmer's Market, DPAC, and Motorco, this home blends the soul of the city's past with the comfort and convenience of today. Built to last and lovingly maintained, this home boasts original heart pine floors, sturdy old-growth framing, and classic craftsman trim work. Add in modern upgrades — a re-shingled roof, updated baths, stainless gas kitchen appliances, encapsulated crawlspace, and a spacious walk-out basement — and you've got a rare gem that's truly move-in ready. Relax on the front porch, host friends in the private fenced yard, or wander to dinner without ever worrying about parking. You can also put your mind at ease knowing that your new home sits next to some of the best schools Durham has to offer. Such as top rated Watts Montessori, Central Park School, and Durham School of the Arts. This is Downtown Durham living at its best.
