There's something special about a house that has been allowed to keep its history. Built in 1926, 1107 Iredell is a charming vintage cottage with the character and original details that are increasingly hard to find. With three bedrooms, one bath, and roughly 1,400 square feet, the home offers a surprisingly generous amount of living space. While the house is comfortable and livable as it is, it also leaves plenty of room for the next owner to make it their own. The kitchen and bath are ready for fresh ideas, and other updates could be tackled over time rather than standing between you and move-in day. Location of this home is a big part of the appeal. Set on a coveted block just south of the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, 1107 puts Duke University, Ninth Street, neighborhood restaurants, shops, and much of central Durham close at hand. Out back, the deep lot offers room to garden, create more outdoor living space, or explore possibilities for an addition or ADU. Access from the alley at the rear adds another layer of flexibility. Simply put, 1107 Iredell isn't trying to be a newly renovated house. It's a well-located home with lots of character, a livable starting point, and plenty of opportunity for someone with ideas about what comes next.

Situated at the very end of the street, on a cul-de-sac with room to park, play, or host a block party, you'll find your home—41 Burgess Lane. A fenced yard, over a third of an acre to install play equipment, throw a ball for the dog, or garden to your heart's delight. Living is easy in the this one-story ranch. All the hard work has been done—previous owners installed new flooring, renovated the kitchen and the bathrooms. The present owners put on a new roof (two years old) and HVAC (five years old), and the sewer main has been replaced. The open floor plan is ideal for World Cup or Hockey watch parties, and like with all ranches, there is a hallway to the four bedrooms and two baths in case parties just aren't your thing and you want to retreat to the quiet of your room. A study with French doors that close make it easy to work from home. The den/study/office could also be a really lovely art studio. If you are wondering how long it's going to take you to get to the "important places": two-minute drive to Q Shack/NuvoTaco/Nana's/The Boot Room/Thai Cafe/Wine Authorities ... too many places to list. A whopping three-minute drive to Guglhupf and Fosters. That sure sounds ideal when you aren't feeling like cooking!
