About 1023 Kent St

Piper, noooooo... way you'll want to miss this one. This 1930s bungalow gives Victoria Ratliff energy —she's classic, she's dramatic, and she's had work done. Fully renovated in 2021-2022, she's now a perfect mix of vintage charm and modern flair, minus any of the chaos. This is the easiest decision you'll make—no lorazepam required. A rocking chair front porch welcomes you home from your questionable spiritual retreat. Step inside and the real hardwood floors scream, ''This wasn't an LVP-style renovation.'' The open layout connects the living, dining, and extra-large kitchen that features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a tiled breakfast peninsula, with enough room to add an island. Go ahead, cook up a great meal, pour some wine, and invite over two of your best-girlfriends-you-haven't-seen-in-a-decade to plan your next escape to Thailand. Wander into the vaulted-ceiling sunroom and out to the spacious deck. The fully fenced backyard? Grounding. Therapeutic. Your dog's emotional support dream. Back inside, you'll find two bright bedrooms with a buddy bath, a dreamy home office, and a primary suite that ascends - literally, its vaulted ceilings flood this room with light and positive spiritual guru energy. Dual walk-in closets. And a spa-like bath with a tiled shower and a clawfoot tub that will make you say ''I just don't think at this age I'm meant to live an uncomfortable life. I don't have the will.'' Fresh paint touch-ups. Newly stained porch and deck. Just over a mile to DPAC, Durham Bulls Athletic Park, and dangerously close to the food scene on University Drive (Guglhupf, Nanas, Fosters). You're not just buying a house. You're buying a storyline. This is your White Lotus moment.
