About this home
Step into a piece of Durham's design history reimagined for modern life. Tucked along tree-lined University Drive in Forest Hills, this restored Art Deco-inspired cottage balances old-world craftsmanship with crisp contemporary updates—proof that style and substance can happily coexist.
Inside, sunlight pours through oversized windows, illuminating original details and thoughtfully chosen finishes. The open-concept main level revolves around a classic fireplace, spacious dining area, and chef's kitchen dressed in quartz counters, sleek cabinetry, and brass accents. Every space feels connected yet comfortably defined—perfect for lively gatherings or quiet coffee rituals.
Downstairs, a fully finished lower level with private entrance creates options rarely found in Forest Hills: a guest suite, creative studio, or income-producing rental. The ensuite bath, living area, and dry bar make it feel like its own retreat.
A sculptural spiral staircase anchors the home, nodding to its 1930s Art Deco roots, while modern upgrades—whole-house spray-foam insulation, updated systems, and a low-maintenance exterior—deliver efficiency without compromise. Outdoors, enjoy a fenced yard, landscaped gardens, and dual parking access via front street and private rear driveway.
From this address, Forest Hills Park, DPAC, Brightleaf Square, Duke University, and Downtown Durham are just minutes away, yet evenings here feel calm and secluded.
Homes with this much character rarely surface in Forest Hills. Tour 2203 University Drive today and discover the blend of history, artistry, and ease that defines Durham living....
