Designed by a local architect, Balfour Hackney, for his family the attention to detail and liveability are superb. The exterior landscape is maintained by the HOA, and this home's setting is incredibly private with extended greenspace behind. It offers privacy and low maintenance. High ceilings, architectural moldings, and extensive front-to-back lighting dominate the interior. Oversized rooms flow graciously together. All primary rooms are on the main level. Of note are the handsome bookcases and cabinets that ensconce the handsome fireplace in the den; the significant main level primary suite with three closets, a bath with double vanity, a separate shower, a tub, and a water closet adjacent to the master bath is a 150 sq ft laundry/utility room (the perfect placement for convenience). Entertainment is stunning as guests can flow from the living room and dining room, past the bar niche, to the kitchen and den. An oversized deck overlooks the woodlands behind. There are two bedrooms on the upper levels, both with multiple storage areas. There is a charming play/study area for young and old to enjoy. There is a walk-in crawlspace/basement area (17.8 x 12.8) with concrete flooring for excellent storage. Sited in the Valley the location is superb. The proximity to Duke, the Hope Valley Country Club, grocery and dining options, downtown Durham and Chapel Hill is superior. Don't miss this gem tucked into the heart of Durham.
