Come make your home in this open and airy townhome situated in Durham's Dunbarton community!
A fantastic example of the contemporary-style, residential architecture of the 1970s, this townhome, with its nearly 2,400 sqft., lives like a single family residence. This 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home boasts huge windows on the main floor which flood the main floor with sunlight, showcasing the beautiful, site-finished hardwood floors. After a few updates, this townhome will gleam! A wood-burning fireplace invites you snuggle up with a book you've chose from the adjoining built-in shelves on cold winter days. Hosting gatherings of friends and family will be a cinch in the home's large kitchen with counter space and cabinet storage galore! With some updating, the expansive deck will be ideal for entertaining on warm summer evenings.
The spacious, light-filled primary bedroom offers private access to the deck and a sitting room for more space in which you can relax and recharge after the busyness of the day; the large walk-in closet and en suite bathroom will easily accommodate your morning routine with a tiled walk-in shower, dual sinks, and plenty of storage. The second floor includes a large bedroom, a full bathroom, and a balcony overlooking the dining and living rooms. Downstairs, in addition to a one-car garage, you'll find a dedicated craft room, two areas for woodworking or hobbies, and a large utility room - plus a half bath!
This home is part of Dunbarton, a private community with tons of amenities for residents, including a pool, clubhouse, barn, tennis courts, walkways, and two ponds! Rest easy knowing that landscaping, including bi-annual trimming and pruning, gutter and downspout maintenance, and street snow removal are taken care of by the homeowners' association. The Dunbarton community holds monthly food drives supporting PORCH and maintains a continuous book exchange accessible to all residents.
Dunbarton is situated a stone's throw from the much sought after Hope Valley neighborhood, built around the Hope Valley Country Club and its Donald Ross Championship 18-hole golf course. This home is convenient to downtown Durham, DPAC, Durham Bulls Athletic Park, and some of the best eating in the city! Catch yourself some sunshine and join a pick-up game of basketball at Southern Boundaries Park, only a 15-minute walk or 3-minute drive away, or make the 7-minute drive over to the American Tobacco Trailhead, giving you access to 22+ miles of hiking trail. Commuters will enjoy the quick access to Research Triangle Park and both I-40 and I-85, all under 15 minutes away. Each of the schools, including magnets schools, within this home's assigned school district are only 5- to 7-minute drives down the road and several of Durham's best private schools and academies are accessible within 15 minutes.
