About This Property

Steeped in history and full of character, this iconic residence is one of the original homes in Hope Valley. Originally built in 1928 and designed by noted architect George Watts Carr, the home reflects the timeless influence of classic Colonial design, with architectural details that have stood the test of time. Over the years, the home has been carefully expanded and enhanced to support modern living, resulting in a flexible layout that offers generous living spaces without compromising the home's historic character. Most recently in 2023, a 550 square foot third floor bonus room was completed. Inside, well-proportioned and light-filled spaces feature traditional millwork, fireplaces, built-ins and are anchored by both formal and casual areas. An office and den offer dynamic work and play spaces. Two staircases provide access to the second level. The primary bedroom includes a sitting area and a generous walk-in-closet. Four additional bedrooms and two baths complete the second level. Adjacent to the family room, a fabulous screened porch with stone fireplace offers a relaxing spot to unwind. A covered porch plus front and back patios present plentiful outdoor living options. Set high on a prominent lot in one of Durham's most established neighborhoods, the sweeping front lawn offers picturesque views of the Hope Valley Country Club. This property presents a unique opportunity to own a home that combines historic charm and sophisticated updates in a sought-after location.
