Historic character and modern comfort come together in this Colonial Revival gem, built in the 1940s by noted Durham builder Thomas Wray Wilkinson as his own family home. A 2007 renovation earned a Durham Historic Preservation Award, blending heritage and comfort with exquisite taste. Inside, you'll find 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 2,140 sq ft of thoughtfully updated space, including a finished basement with flex space and laundry room, two fireplaces, and a sunroom that's heated and cooled for year-round enjoyment. A one-car garage and new roof (2021) add convenience and peace of mind. Details include gleaming hardwood floors, granite countertops, and timeless design elements that make the home both elegant and livable. The backyard is a private retreat, complete with two koi ponds, a stone patio, and a cascading waterfall a rare oasis so close to the city. Just steps from downtown Durham, Duke's East Campus, and the lively Duke Park neighborhood, this home blends historic charm with an unbeatable location.
