Space, location, and nearly an acre in the heart of Durham—this one is special! Tucked away in a quiet, welcoming enclave, this beautifully updated 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath ranch sits on an incredible 0.78-acre lot—a rare find in such a convenient Durham location. Inside, thoughtful renovations have created a home that's both stylish and exceptionally flexible. The renovated kitchen and living room (2022) anchor the main living space, while a full guest suite conversion completed in 2020 offers a spacious bedroom, kitchenette, huge full bath, and beautifully updated laundry room—ideal for guests, multigenerational living, an au pair, or extended stays. The finished walk-out basement, renovated in 2025, adds even more room to spread out, with two versatile rooms, a fireplace, bathroom, and direct access to the backyard through both a sliding glass door and a separate entrance to the fenced portion of the yard. Think home office, gym, playroom, media room, guest space—or a combination of them all. And then there's the backyard! Overlook the expansive property from the large screened-in porch to see that it has been thoughtfully divided into areas for open lawn, fenced space, and an incredibly productive edible garden with rich, fertile soil that has produced abundant vegetables, herbs, and flowers over the years. A large custom-built detached shed (2020) provides fantastic additional storage for gardening gear, bikes, tools, and outdoor equipment. The location may be one of the best surprises of all. Tucked away in Durham's 27705 ZIP code, this home offers the space and privacy of a 0.78-acre lot while keeping you remarkably connected to Downtown Durham, Duke University, Duke University Hospital, Chapel Hill, and major roadways. Eno River State Park, Eno Quarry, Laurel Bluffs, and sections of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail are also nearby, offering easy access to some of Durham's best outdoor recreation. It's an uncommon combination of breathing room, nature, and city convenience—and there's no HOA. Among others, some major improvements include a full guest suite conversion and laundry room renovation in 2020, custom detached shed addition in 2020, kitchen renovation in 2022, new roof in 2023, and finished basement renovation in 2025. Nearly an acre, beautifully updated and flexible living spaces, an established edible garden, nearby trails and the Eno River, no HOA, and convenient access to Duke, Downtown Durham and Chapel Hill—2705 Newquay Street offers a combination of space, location and lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find in Durham.

Tucked into the storied streets of historic Walltown, this 2021 Quality One Contracting build feels like a modern secret hiding in an old neighborhood's bones. Step inside and the main level unfolds in one graceful, open-concept sweep, built for both quiet mornings and lively gatherings. The kitchen is the heart's heartbeat, a waterfall granite island anchoring the space, paired with a 6-burner gas cooktop ready for anything from a Tuesday stir-fry to a full dinner-party production. A 2022 expansion added a four-season conditioned screened room warmed by a linear gas fireplace. The primary ensuite is a retreat unto itself, with a walk-in closet, separate water closet, double vanity and soaking tub made for slow unhurried evenings. The upstairs loft space can become whatever you need most, sunlit office, reading nook or cozy lounge. Outside, the fenced backyard is its own luxurious escape: a custom stone seating wall curls around an expansive gas fire pit, a built-in cooler keeps things chilled and low-maintenance turf glows under landscape lighting once the sun goes down. Just beyond, the built-in grill sets the stage for backyard feasts, while a second-floor deck off the primary en-suite offers a private perch above it all. The outdoor three-story spiral staircase turns a simple trip into a small adventure. And this home doesn't just look amazing, it thinks ahead. Solar panels with battery backup, attached 2 car garage with EV charger, tankless water heater and full home security system mean beauty here comes with brains, too. Step outside and the neighborhood does the rest: Joe Van Gogh and The Loop are just around the corner while Duke's East Campus, buzzing 9th Street, Monuts and Whole Foods are all a short stroll away. It's the rare find where charm and modern indulgence share the same address.

506 Mallard has a bit of a disappearing act going on. Walk out the front door and downtown Durham is right there. Step into the backyard and suddenly there are fireflies, birdsong, bistro lights, a tree swing, and enough leafy canopy to make the city feel considerably farther away than it is. That contrast is a big part of what makes this Cleveland Holloway bungalow so special. Inside, the living room makes an impression immediately, with 10-foot beadboard ceilings, beautiful heart pine floors, and room to really spread out. Those original details carry the history of the house, while thoughtful updates over the years have brought the kitchen and baths forward and tackled plenty of the practical stuff too, including a metal roof added in 2017, replacement windows, and HVAC replaced in 2020. The kitchen has plenty of room to cook without disappearing from the action, and from there it's an easy transition out to the large back deck and garden. And what a garden. Mature canopy keeps it remarkably shaded in summer, while native perennials and trees, a box elder with a swing, fire pit, vegetable garden, and multiple places to gather turn the backyard into much more than something nice to look at through a window. Set up a long table on the deck and watch the birds. String up a projector for movie night. Or do absolutely nothing beyond sitting under the trees for a while. Then leave the car parked behind the gate and head out on foot. Saturday morning at the Durham Farmers' Market. Dinner at Alley 26 or Pizzeria Toro. A show at DPAC. A library run. Drinks at Motorco, Fullsteam, or Ponysaurus. This is the version of downtown living where walking somewhere is genuinely part of daily life, but coming home doesn't feel particularly urban. Historic, beautifully cared for, and deeply connected to both its garden and its city, 506 Mallard sits on a particularly charming stretch of Mallard Avenue. It's a house that will be hard to say goodbye to and an awfully good one to come home to.
