About this home
Located in the heart of downtown Durham, The condos of the historic Kress Department Store Building offer a lifestyle that blends character, comfort, and unbeatable walkability.
Unit 404 is a premier unit in the building. Not the largest or most expensive but arguably the most livable and comfortable.
The east-facing patio, complete with a foldaway door, is perfectly positioned for glowing sunrises and unforgettable afternoon rainbows. By midday, it settles into cool shade, often accompanied by a gentle breeze that keeps things comfortable even in the height of summer. It's the kind of space where your day naturally begins with coffee and winds down in the evening light.
Inside, the home strikes a rare balance between historic charm and modern livability. Soaring concrete beam ceilings, expansive windows, and incredible natural light define the space, while thoughtful custom details enhance both form and function.
The open flow is ideal for entertaining, with a large kitchen offering abundant cabinetry and a layout that invites conversation while cooking. There's ample room for a generous dining table, multiple seating areas, and even a pool table--creating a space that feels both elevated and effortlessly livable.
Large windows and the patio provide a front-row seat to the changing seasons, including picturesque views of nearby church steeples framed by vibrant fall foliage--an ever-evolving backdrop that adds character year-round.
The primary suite is a private retreat, featuring a wall of custom European-style built-in closets and a spacious bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower.
A well-appointed second full bath adds convenience for guests, while a dedicated laundry room enhances everyday functionality.
The flexible second bedroom--ideal as an office or music room--includes a Murphy bed, allowing the space to easily adapt to your needs. Additional basement storage provides valuable extra space rarely found in downtown living.
Living here means stepping directly into the best of downtown. Catch a Broadway show at Durham Performing Arts Center, enjoy a film or live performance at Carolina Theatre, or cheer on the home team at Durham Bulls Athletic Park--all just a short stroll away, no parking required.
Dining is just as effortless. Pie Pushers is practically at your doorstep, while Luna Rotisserie and Empanadas sits just across the street--perfect for a quick bite or an easy night out. Beyond that, downtown Durham's vibrant food and cocktail scene offers endless options to explore, all within walking distance.
This condo isn't just a great home--it's a front-row seat to the energy, beauty, and rhythm of downtown living....
