5 minutes to the university and downtown Durham.  Wonderfully unique antique artisan cape, the present and past owners have loved this home and have taken great care to preserve its 200 years of character yet bring it forward into the present with modern amenities.  If you enjoy comfortable living, having space and gardens, a fantastic barn to tinker in, the ability to have guests over in their private studio (or supplemental rental income), peace and quiet on a slow country road yet being just minutes to Portsmouth, this is the place for you.  Good quality custom finish details and built-ins throughout entire house, pine floors, vaulted ceilings, mini split ac/heat and more.  26x60 finished heated workshop or barn with good quality one bedroom auxiliary apartment, barn has ability to house six or more vehicles, previously a custom cabinetry shop with 3 phase power and clear span interior.   Fenced in yard for animals along with garden beds (established asparagus).  I can go on forever describing this fantastic home but instead I recommend you contact your favorite broker and visit this home soon as it is a home that will not last in this market.  Home has 8 rooms, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths.  Apartment has open concept with one bedroom and one bath.
