About This Home
Step into a piece of Durham history with this beautifully updated bungalow in the heart of Historic East Durham--where charm, walkability, and modern comfort come together effortlessly. Inside, you'll find original character elevated with thoughtful updates--gleaming hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and abundant natural light that fills the open living and dining spaces. The modern kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring granite countertops and stainless steel appliances that make everyday living and entertaining easy. The outdoor spaces are just as inviting. Enjoy your morning coffee on the classic rocking chair front porch overlooking a mature fig tree, hydrangeas, and a charming grapevine trellis. Out back, a fully fenced, low-maintenance yard offers the perfect setting for gatherings, pets, or simply unwinding, plus a covered porch and extra storage for added convenience. The full bath has been tastefully updated with a granite vanity and a clean, modern shower/tub surround--blending comfort with timeless design. Known locally as the Historic Benjamin King House, this home offers not only character and curb appeal, but also the added benefit of lower property taxes--a rare and valuable advantage. Just a short stroll to local favorites like Ideal's Sandwich & Grocery, Mike D's BBQ, Rofhiwa Book Café, and Proximity Brewing, this home puts you right in the center of one of Durham's most vibrant and growing communities. Homes with this level of charm, location, and financial upside don't last long. Come see why this one stands out from the rest!
