​Nestled amidst a variety of  trees, English gardens and a babbling creek that flows to the Eno River, lies a custom-built jewel in North Durham. This carefully crafted Duffy one-owner home is ready for new memories.  Aptly named Placid Valley, close your eyes and picture yourself sitting quietly on the back deck sipping your morning coffee, or at dusk sipping your favorite adult beverage.  The five bedrooms give you plenty of room to breathe while the large dining room easily accommodates 8-10 people for festive holiday dinners.  If al fresco dining is your preference, the expansive deck and patio areas allow you space to enjoy an outdoor BBQ.  Several small patio areas are perfect for intimate conversations, while children or pets explore the natural environment this nearly one-acre lot has to offer.  Over the years, kids have had a blast catching tadpoles, salamanders, frogs and crayfish in the brook. Likewise, many have enjoyed the solitude of hiking along  the Eno River trail access that is only 12 houses away! The clean, unfinished full walk-out basement is usable as is as a bonus room, or can be finished for more living space. It is equipped with a dehumidifier system and plenty of space for hobbies or family fun. If you wish to make it cozy and warm, the pipes can be converted back to accommodate a wood burning stove (one used to be there).  Contact Ellen Corliss for a full list of updates and features of this fabulous and conveniently located North Durham home. 919-597-9491
