About this home
Adorable, affordable, and right in the heart of Watts-Hillandale - voted Durham's best neighborhood by Durham Magazine - 2109 Sunset Avenue is full of warmth, character, and the kind of backyard that makes you forget you're in the city. Inside, rich hardwood floors, an arched doorway, timeless light fixtures, built-in bookshelves, and a charming vintage telephone nook bring the personality, while the updated kitchen and bathroom make everyday living easy. The kitchen and open dining area have hosted countless dinners and gatherings, with new counters and backsplash adding a fresh touch. Open the back door and let the breeze roll in from the peaceful, fully fenced backyard. A flagstone patio, storage shed, and mature shade trees create a private outdoor haven - with an especially impressive show of color in late summer and fall. You need to see this backyard to believe it! Just across the street, a neighborhood path connects to 17-Acre Wood and the Ellerbe Creek Trail for shaded walks with the dog. When hunger strikes, stroll to Cocoa Cinnamon, Monuts, LRB Provisions, Common Market, and all of the Ninth Street restaurants, shops, and bars. It's convenient to so many walkable destinations and adventures, yet quiet and removed from traffic noise and the hustle and bustle. This house isn't just adorable - it's also a smart investment that has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully updated by the seller. The major improvements are already handled: HVAC in 2019; roof and replacement windows from the Aluminum Company of NC in 2021; water heater in 2022; and crawlspace encapsulation by A Healthy Home, dehumidifier, additional attic insulation in 2024, and a new front door in 2026. Vintage charm, thoughtful big ticket updates, a dreamy backyard, and one seriously walkable Durham neighborhood—this little cottage packs in a whole lot to love....
