About this home
Welcome to 2131 Sunset Avenue, a charming cottage in Durham's beloved Watts-Hillandale neighborhood, where thoughtful updates and an unbeatable location create the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. Renovated bathrooms, an updated kitchen, and a family room addition give this home style, functionality, and a little extra room to spread out. Known for its historic character, walkable streets, and strong sense of community, Watts-Hillandale remains one of Durham's most sought-after neighborhoods. Duke University, Duke Hospital, downtown Durham, Ninth Street, local restaurants, and everyday shopping are all just minutes away. For those who appreciate both urban convenience and access to nature, the location is hard to beat. Ellerbe Creek Trail and Indian Trail Park are just one block away, while two additional neighborhood parks are within easy walking distance. At home, a private fenced backyard offers a peaceful retreat for relaxing, gardening, or entertaining. The main-floor primary suite features a spacious en-suite bath and direct access to the deck. Two additional flex spaces—one on the main level and one upstairs—provide options for guest rooms, home offices, hobbies, or additional living space. The upstairs room features sloped ceilings and is not included in the reported square footage because less than 50% of the area has a ceiling height above 7 feet. However, it has long functioned as a bedroom and has been reported as livable space in both MLS records and city documentation. Additional storage is available through bonus closets on the second floor and a backyard storage shed. Major improvements include a roof installed in 2019 and a water heater replaced in 2025. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy the character of an established Durham neighborhood while benefiting from nearby parks, trails, Duke, and downtown amenities....
