Property Description

Take advantage of this rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated two-bedroom, one-bathroom 1948 post-World War II cottage in Durham's Broad Acres. Perfectly positioned at the edge of the desirable Watts Hospital-Hillandale neighborhood, this inviting home blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates. Beautiful oak floors and a cozy fireplace create a sense of welcome. The standout updated kitchen is designed to impress — featuring granite countertops, integrated Ikea storage systems, full-extension drawer cabinetry, and an oversized Rachiele copper farmhouse workstation sink that adds both beauty and serious functionality. Whether preparing everyday meals or entertaining guests, cooks will love the induction cooktop with chimney-style vented hood, Miele combi-steam oven, and GE conventional baking oven. The primary bedroom feels like a private retreat, opening directly to a screened back porch and offering an adjacent 5' x 10' walk-in closet. A spacious bathroom continues the home's classic-meets-modern appeal with twin pedestal sinks, a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and Carrara marble-look subway tile. Major updates include a 2022 architectural shingle roof, sealed crawl space, lead paint and asbestos remediation, Ethernet and CAT-5 data systems, Rinnai tankless water heater, and an electric vehicle charging station. Outdoor living is just as appealing, with both front and back screened porches for morning coffee, quiet evenings, or effortless entertaining. Plus, Westover Park is just across Guess Road, and the West Ellerbee Creek Trail is around the corner with miles of walking trails and is part of the Greater Durham Bikeway. Most of the homes on the 1800 block of Forest Road were built in 1948 with FHA financing for veterans. They were designed by the architectural firm of Archie Royal Davis. Preservation Durham has recognized this section of Forest Road as a remarkably well-preserved example of post-WWII vernacular architecture — adding a rare sense of story, place, and distinction to an already compelling home.
