Description

1505 Virginia is a mid-century bungalow with a rich history, first purchased by prominent Duke physician Dr. Walter Kempner. With only four owners since 1941, this home has been lovingly treasured and preserved, retaining much of its original mid-century charm.You will not want to miss the iconic and highly sought-after St. Charles vintage metal cabinets—true gems for retro enthusiasts. The closets are thoughtfully designed with built-in shelving for exceptional storage. A masonry fireplace and a patio overlooking the gardens provide inviting spaces to relax and unwind.The conditioned upstairs attic, where Dr. Kempner once stored antiques, is exceptional and offers remarkable flexibility—ideal for a potential third bedroom, play area, home office, or creative retreat. While the ceiling height prevents this space from being counted in the official square footage, it is truly stellar. A basement workshop and generous storage area offer additional opportunities for hobbyists and gardeners alike. Ideally located near Indian Trail Park, Ellerbe Creek, Ninth Street, and Duke's East Campus, this is a rare opportunity to own a special piece of Durham's beloved history in the Watts-Hillandale neighborhood.
