Property details
About 2709 Shenandoah Ave
This adorable cottage snuggled into a quiet corner of the beautiful Northgate Park neighborhood is just overflowing with charm and personality. This much-loved home has been meticulously maintained, with a tidy set of records to show for it. Inside, you will find this small space lives large, with surprisingly generous light-filled spaces. Original hard wood flooring, smooth ceilings, picture molding throughout, ceramic tiled bathroom, a cozy fireplace, and many original fixtures convey historic character. The spacious attic with heart pine flooring is just waiting to be finished into an entire second floor retreat, office space, artist or yoga studio, you name it. Recent structural work in the basement to refurbish foundation footings, replace soldier beams, and the installation of a French drain, along with a vapor barrier, sump pump and high-end dehumidifier assure the basement will remain a fully functional and super useful space in this neighborhood where water encroachment can be a chronic issue. Outside, the house is thoughtfully landscaped with a charming brick pathway and an assortment of plants designed for beauty in every season. A large partially fenced backyard framed by a majestic magnolia tree is a gardener's retreat and perfect for outdoor relaxing and entertaining. The large, flat, open space of the back yard presents a perfect opportunity for an ADU for additional rental income. A quiet location, yet close to Northgate Park, within easy distance to downtown Durham, the Ellerbee Creek Trails, and an easy commute to Duke - it's a dream.
