About 2519 Chapel Hill Rd

Welcome to 2519 Chapel Hill Road—an all-brick ranch with a finished walk-out basement apartment nestled in the heart of Durham's vibrant Lakewood District. Just minutes from Guglhupf, Fosters, and Refectory Café, Cocoa Cinnamon, Saltbox Seafood Joint, Lula and Sadie's, and Lakewood Social (to name a few) and only 2 miles to Downtown, this home offers the perfect blend of convenience, and charm, and flexibility. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors throughout the main level, a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and prep sink, and a cozy natural gas fireplace. A spiral staircase leads to a fully finished lower level with a family room, full bath, full kitchen also with stainless steel appliances, and private bedroom and additional flex space —ideal for an in-law suite or separate apartment. The expansive 0.4-acre fenced lot offers serenity and privacy, while recent upgrades include a $70K basement renovation (2021), roof (2022), additional sump pump (2024), and new range (2024). This is a rare opportunity in one of Durham's most accessible and desirable neighborhoods.
