About this home
Welcome to 1206 Vickers Avenue, a beautifully restored 1919 Craftsman in the heart of Morehead Hill, where historic character, modern convenience and an exceptionally walkable lifestyle come together in a way that's increasingly hard to find. This beautiful property is just one block to Morehead Montessori Elementary School, one of Durham's most sought-after public school programs. Located within the school's neighborhood priority zone, the home is also zoned for Lakewood Montessori Middle School, just a short walk or bike ride away. From the expansive Southern front porch, you'll quickly discover why so many people fall in love with Morehead Hill. It's less than a 10-minute stroll to the American Tobacco Campus for dinner, a Durham Bulls game or a concert or Broadway show at DPAC. Pick up fresh NC seafood from the fish market or groceries from one of Durham's beloved independent markets at the bottom of the hill. Or wander downtown or over to Brightleaf Square, where you'll find countless ways to indulge your foodie side while supporting Durham's thriving independent shops. Orchard Park is just steps away, while 46-acre Forest Hills Park offers tennis, pickleball, playgrounds, disc golf, and scenic walking trails. Over the past 13 years, the current owners have thoughtfully renovated and meticulously maintained the home, preserving the craftsmanship and character of its 100-plus-year history while making it exceptionally comfortable for modern living. The goal wasn't simply to update the house—it was to preserve everything that makes a 1919 Craftsman special while taking care of the major projects. It's a historic gem of a home. Inside, you'll find soaring 10-foot ceilings, oversized 4-over-1 windows, intricate millwork, original hardwood floors and six decorative fireplaces. The fully reimagined gourmet kitchen features marble countertops, extensive custom cabinetry, an Italian six-burner range with electric griddle and a handcrafted walnut island built from reclaimed antique oak discovered during the renovation. Major updates include a renovated marble bathroom with rain shower, a new roof (2023), dual HVAC systems with updated ductwork, a fully repainted exterior and a walkout lower level transformed into more than 1,000 square feet of finished living space with two bedrooms, a full bath, laundry room, large recreation room with rough-in plumbing for a future kitchenette, separate exterior entrances and remarkable storage. And wait until you see the expansive storage space and original coal room! Thoughtfully restored, meticulously maintained, and truly move-in ready, 1206 Vickers offers something increasingly rare: the charm, craftsmanship, and walkable lifestyle of a century-old home—without inheriting a century's worth of projects....
