Property Description

This renovated 1918, one-level Craftsman Bungalow knows how to make a first impression. Set in the heart of Lakewood, this home is part of a neighborhood that began as an early 20th-century amusement park destination at the end of a trolley line. So it's always been a place people wanted to go. Once dairy farmland, Lakewood is now one of Durham's most sought-after pockets, known for the historic charm and character that they just aren't making more of these days.

Life here is easy and walkable. Grab your morning fix at Cocoa Cinnamon, meet friends at Lula & Sadie's when only Southern comfort will do, and Lakewood Social offers plenty of room to gather, play and unwind (and yes, Durhamites swear by the chicken fingers). And, when you're feeling bold, Azteca Grill is just a short stroll away. Groceries are less than two blocks out, and Duke University is a quick 4-minute drive or an easy bike ride for the cyclist in your home. The Durham Bulls Athletic Park, American Tobacco, and downtown Durham is under 10 min. by car.

Inside this home, you'll find 3 bedrooms, including a generously sized primary suite with an ensuite bath and walk-in closet that feels like a splurge. The open living and dining spaces flow comfortably, and the kitchen is well-equipped with all the modern features you've come to expect.

The front porch? It practically insists on slow mornings, neighborly waves, and the occasional evening drink under the glow of patio lights. Out back, a deck overlooks a fenced yard framed by mature landscaping and lush greenery that will remind you why you love spending time outdoors.

If your vibe leans toward historic charm, a strong sense of place, and the ability to leave your car parked (in one of two driveways that flank the home) more often than not, this one's worth a look. Come see it in person and you'll get it.
