While the song Brick House may have entered the charts in the 70s, one can imagine a ten year old born in the 1967, jamming out this tune by by the Commodores. Do not let the big bad market huff and puff this one away! It's time to begin your happily ever after in this picture-perfect house of bricks!
A rare treasure indeed, this 1960’s brick ranch boasts many modern-day updates, while maintaining its mid-century charm. 3402 Angus Road, is nestled in the heart of Durham’s Westglen neighborhood, providing a sense of retreat from the hustle and bustle, while only minutes away from easy access to all that the Bull City has to offer. The residence is rich with remarkable offerings and was completely renovated in 2008 (see below for a list of updates). Site-finished hardwoods provide warm flooring throughout, beneath a rare combination of fashionable and natural lighting. Your inner stylist will be drawn to the creative opportunities presented by the versatile floor plan, with its neutral color palette. Even the ceilings are high impact, with the vaulted and minimalist flat smooth ceilings.
The efficient gas fireplace and built-in bookshelves provide the living room a welcoming feel, creating a great spot for reading and enjoying a warm cup of tea or coffee while being bathed in vitamin D and natural light. The stone patio is adjacent to the living room when the day beckons more of a nature infusion.
The primary bedroom is both a luxurious refuge for winding down at night and the springboard to begin tomorrow afresh. In addition to the convenience of the private bathroom with a walk-in shower, you will find an adjacent flexible room with a walk-in closet ideal for a secluded office and/or a yoga and meditation retreat.
The other three bedrooms offer the continued flow of space and light, as well as the convenience of ground floor accessibility. Generous closets are found throughout the spacious four bedrooms.
The kitchen features cabinetry with dove-tailed construction and soft-close drawers. The owner found hand-washing the dishes meditative although the electrical and plumbing remain behind the cabinet to the left of the gas stove and cooktop in case the new buyer would prefer the option for a dishwasher. The countertops are Brazilian stone, similar to granite without the same level of maintenance. The island is reinforced with steel bars to secure the island from damage in case children decide to dance and climb on the island. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances. The microwave and refrigerator were purchased and installed in 2022.
As a true BONUS, the home features a spectacular 449 square foot studio with dual exterior entrances, designed to support both creativity and comfort. Offering abundant room for mindfulness and movement, the heated and cooled studio is equipped with a half bath, a studio sink, ample storage and display shelving, a secondary refrigerator, and dance-grade flooring. Don't let the subfloor fool you, the owner made special efforts to ensure she would be able to spend her time standing to paint. Since direct access to the studio is unavailable through the main home it isn't eligible to be officially counted in the total heated and cooled living square footage. The studio space is equipped with a Samsung mini-split. All HVAC systems were routinely serviced in the fall of 2021 by Happy Homes Heating and Cooling.
This premier corner lot offers a large fenced-in backyard with a central slate patio for relaxing or entertaining, a lush lawn perfect for playing and gardening. The storage shed and home are surrounded by carefully designed landscaping and the lot is filled with hardwood and ornamental trees, and fragrant flowers. Well water supplies the exterior hoses and irrigation system to help eliminate costly water bills.
In 2008 the home experienced an extensive renovation and the main systems were updated: electrical, plumbing, and heating and cooling, including ductwork. The crawlspace was sealed and a french drain was installed as well in 2011 by Carolina Weatherization (website link here). Kelly Windows in Cary replaced all of the windows in the home with vinyl windows with single panes (website link here). They are warranted for life and for $150 the new buyer can transfer the warranty. All windows are energy efficient and were installed with triple glazing with tightly controlled placement during installation. The whole house was painted in 2017 by Gonzales Painting and new six inch gutters were installed. Paint touch up cans are available in the shed for the new buyer. The colors are from Sherwin Williams: Mink, Colonial Grey, Anjou Pear, and Windy Blue.
The suggested starting price is $635,000 and the seller will be reviewing offers on Monday afternoon. Please have your highest and best submitted by 2:30 pm on Monday, March 21st. Open Houses are scheduled for Saturday from 2-4 pm (hosted by Ellen Corliss) and and on Sunday from 2-4 pm (hosted by Emily Godrich and joined by Carly Chapman). Please use safe COVID handling procedures. For questions about this home contact your favorite broker or the listing agent, Emily Godrich @ 919.672.8550 via text or phone.
