About 709 N St

Whisk yourself away to your new cozy downtown dream home! A remnant of a golden era in Durham's history, this 3Bed/2Ba 1940's craftsman is truly a poster child for the phrase ''They Don't Make Them Like They Used To.'' Owner has maintained historical integrity and charm, while making a few modest upgrades that really make this home a delight. House maintains the original ''good bones'' of old growth timber and plaster framing, traditional heart-pine hardwood floors, iconic craftsman trim work, and wooden porch & brickwork. Roof re-shingled, updated bathrooms, stainless & gas kitchen appliances, encapsulated crawlspace, large walk-in basement area, and fenced in backyard. With just enough tree covering and landscaping, this lot feels secluded & private while being just a short walk away from many of Downtown Durham's top destinations. There are no shortage of options within a few blocks; like the Farmer's Market or Durham Food Hall for a bite, Motorco or Pinhook for a show, Durham Central Park, and even walkable to DPAC & Durham Bulls if you want to avoid parking hassle! Or if you're looking for more low key night out connecting with the community, you have Durty Bull Brewing right next door! But fret not, they're very respectful neighbors! You can also put your mind at ease knowing that your new home sits next to some of the best schools Durham has to offer. Such as Watts Montessori, Central Park School, and Durham School of the Arts. So whether you're looking for a quiet, yet accessible neighborhood home for your family, or an investment in one of Durham's hottest markets, this home is perfect for anyone!
