Property details

About 2610 University Dr

It's a BIG.... House... And.., it's all. Yellow! Many potential options for this one-of-a-Kind Rockwood Classic. Built as a Duplex in 1949. 5 Bedrooms & 2.5 Bathrooms. Most interior original details are intact: oak hardwood floors, solid pine panel doors, ''chunky'' moldings: baseboards, door casings, crown + wonderful picture wainscotting throughout the Left side living space & stairwell. Attractive modern Kitchen with subway tile backsplash, granite countertops + Center Island, shaker cabinets, stainless appliances and ample space for prepping, cooking & entertaining. The formal Dining Room is attached to Kitchen and has a picture window. The home's 2nd floor has wonderful light in the 5 Bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. There are 2- 8' x 12' covered side porches with poured concrete floors. As inside the home, there are many magical areas in the expansive fully-fenced rear garden area. Perennials & native plantings abound. Pebble Patio behind the home. Magical Octagonal in-ground Swimming Pool + Cabana. Above the pool is the flat upper-backyard. The property is 1 block to the ''Rockwood Food Hub'' & Rockwood Park. 1 mile to Downtown Durham & 2 miles to Southwest Durham Shopping. Close-to-everything in-town Durham location yet nestled in the woods on a private hilltop. While it has been used as a single-family home for 20+ years, it still has 2 boilers and water heaters- and could be put back into service as a Duplex. It could also be multi-generational, as the buyer wishes. Also listed as a Residential Listing under MLS #10077820.
