Property Description

Back on the market with garage repairs completed and a new price of $399,000, this distinctive Parkwood property is ready for its next chapter. Set in one of Durham's established neighborhoods, where tree-lined streets and nearby Parkwood Lake evoke the feel of simpler times, this classic brick-front Colonial offers something increasingly hard to find: character, versatility, outdoor space, and plenty of room for imagination. Inside, a parquet-style entry introduces a home that favors timeless character over fleeting trends. The traditional floor plan provides separate spaces for different moments of the day—a welcoming Living Room for conversation and gatherings and a comfortable Family Room for quieter evenings at home. The Kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a gas range, with an adjacent Dining Area for everyday meals. A combination Utility and Laundry Room adds practical convenience, while fresh interior paint and new carpet provide a clean, refreshed foundation. Upstairs are all three Bedrooms and a Full Bath, with a Half Bath conveniently located on the main level. Step outside, and the personality of this property really begins to unfold. Two decks create multiple places to enjoy the outdoors, including one with a pergola for entertaining and another with a gas grill hookup. The large, fenced backyard has the makings of a gardener's oasis, complete with a picturesque swing surrounded by flowers, an open garden shed, and even a treehouse. Clever storage is tucked beneath the main deck behind discreet doors, providing even more space for tools, equipment, and outdoor necessities. Perhaps the property's most unusual feature is the detached two-car garage—a rarity in Parkwood—with workshop possibilities, cabinetry, additional rear storage, and an unfinished upper level with its own separate entrance. Imagine a home office, art or music studio, hobby room, creative retreat, or simply exceptional additional storage. It is a space waiting for the next owner to decide what it can become. This is not a cookie-cutter house—and that is precisely its charm. It can be enjoyed as it is today or reimagined over time by a buyer who recognizes the possibilities and appreciates a home with a little personality. Parkwood Lake is just a short walk away, while neighborhood parks, playgrounds and walking trails encourage time outdoors. Swim memberships are also available through Parkwood Swim Club. And when it is time to venture farther, The Streets at Southpoint, RTP, Chapel Hill, shopping, dining and major highways are all within convenient reach. For the buyer who values character over conformity and possibility over predictability, this may be the home worth discovering.
