Tucked beneath mature trees at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this rare, original Gail Crabtree custom home is a hidden gem in White Oak Park. Designed and built in 1990 by the award-winning local builder, it reflects the timeless craftsmanship, enduring quality, and connection to nature that have made Gail Crabtree homes so admired throughout the Triangle.
Fresh interior paint, original hardwood floors, and luxury vinyl plank flooring on the main level, three bedrooms upstairs, and a versatile main-level flex room create a home that blends character with everyday comfort. The spacious primary suite, complete with a sunlit ensuite bath, offers a peaceful place to begin and end each day.
A magnificent Japanese maple welcomes you home, while the wrap-around front porch and private screened porch invite quiet mornings and relaxing evenings surrounded by nature. Established perennial plantings provide beauty throughout the seasons, with fragrant gardenias filling the air each spring and camellias blooming twice each year. The fenced backyard, complete with a patio and fire pit, offers room to gather, unwind, and imagine your own vision for the landscape.
Though the home feels like a secluded woodland retreat, it's just 0.6 miles from Wegmans and minutes from UNC, Duke, RTP, and downtown Chapel Hill and Durham. Some homes simply provide a place to live. This one invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel at home. Offered at $539,000, it's more than a home—it's a place to create lasting memories in one of Durham's most beloved neighborhoods.
