Description
Updated 1948 two-bedroom, one-bath cottage in Durham's sought-after Broad Acres neighborhood near Watts Hospital-Hillandale. This charming home blends historic character with modern upgrades, including oak floors, a cozy fireplace, screened front and back porches, and a thoughtfully designed kitchen with granite countertops, full-extension cabinetry, oversized Rachiele copper farmhouse sink, induction cooktop, vented hood, Miele combi-steam oven, and GE conventional oven. The primary bedroom offers a 5' x 10' walk-in closet and direct access to the screened back porch. The spacious bath features twin pedestal sinks, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and Carrara marble-look subway tile. Major improvements include 2019 rewiring and PEX plumbing, architectural shingle roof, sealed crawl space, lead paint and asbestos remediation, Ethernet/CAT-5, Rinnai tankless water heater, and EV charging station. Enjoy a southeast-facing backyard ideal for raised-bed gardening, plus easy access to Westover Park and the West Ellerbee Creek Trail. Designed by Archie Royal Davis's firm and recognized by Preservation Durham, this Forest Road home is a well-preserved example of post-WWII vernacular architecture.
