About this home
Nestled in a highly desirable Duke Forest neighborhood, this rare single-story residence combines timeless charm with modern updates. A full 2014 renovation added nearly 1,000 square feet, creating an inviting home filled with thoughtful design and exceptional quality. This property has been meticulously maintained.
Welcoming front steps and a distinctive curved wrought iron handrail lead to a spacious porch entry. Inside, refinished hardwood floors connect three generous bedrooms, a warm study, a large laundry room, and multiple flexible living spaces. The gourmet kitchen showcases high-end appliances, a functional island, and a bay window overlooking a hand-built stone wall. One bedroom even offers a private exterior entrance—ideal for guests or a home office.
The attached 1.5-car garage with epoxy flooring provides extra space for a workshop or storage. Energy-efficient upgrades include top-grade insulation, a sealed crawlspace, thermal windows, a tankless gas water heater, and a high-efficiency HVAC system, all helping to keep utility costs low. Both the interior and exterior were recently painted.
The expansive living room, anchored by a gas fireplace, features floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the beautifully landscaped backyard. Outdoor living is a true highlight with a large patio and automatic awning, complemented by a cozy sunroom and a screened porch with custom blinds. The fully fenced backyard is a serene retreat with slate stepping stones, a wooden bridge, natural rock pathways, and a variety of redwood, cypress, and maple trees. Seasonal perennials provide vibrant color from spring through fall.
This property balances privacy with community—tucked away yet part of an active neighborhood. Located just one mile from Duke's West Campus and within walking distance of the Vita exercise course and the scenic Washington Duke 3-mile loop, this home offers both convenience and tranquility.
