1003 Iredell Street

Welcome home! This 1929 bungalow, in the Watts Hospital Hillandale area in the heart of Durham, greets you the way the best houses always have: with a wide rocking chair front porch and the quiet invitation to slow down, sit a while, and watch the neighborhood go by. Step inside and the warmth follows you. Original hardwood floors run underfoot, glowing with more than a century of character, while an open, light-filled floor plan gives the home a breezy ease that feels entirely of the moment. This is a house that has aged beautifully -- and then been given every advantage of the present. The kitchen is where old-soul atmosphere meets genuine craftsmanship: custom cabinetry, luminous quartz countertops, a handsome glass-tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. It's the kind of kitchen where Sunday mornings stretch long and dinner parties feel effortless. The owner's suite is a genuine retreat -- a spa-worthy tiled shower, a custom walk-in closet, and enough breathing room to make it yours. Behind the walls, the home is just as thoughtfully considered: updated plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and water heater means you inherit the charm without the worry. Incredible fenced yard with room to entertain. And the location? It puts the best of Durham right at your doorstep -- grab a coffee at Monuts around the corner or take a short ride to the energy of downtown, the world-class performances at DPAC, and the storied campus of Duke University. This is a home for people who love where they live -- the city they've chosen, the history beneath their feet, and the life they're building inside four very well-crafted walls.
