Description
What if the address doesn't tell the whole story? This 1947 Duke Park home may face Avondale, but daily life happens from the back, with off-street parking and a private rear entrance from quiet Shawnee Street. Inside, the original home has grown right along with the people who've lived here, creating a flexible 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath floor plan full of warmth and character. Hardwood floors run through the original spaces, while an updated kitchen opens easily to the living area. The main-floor primary suite offers an ensuite bath and separation from the additional bedrooms, while upstairs, a light-filled "treehouse" room surrounded by windows and built-ins makes a memorable bedroom, office, studio, or retreat. Out back, the fenced yard, patio, and rear entrance create a surprisingly private place to come home, gather, garden, or let the dog out. And the location keeps Duke, Downtown Durham, I-85, and the best of the Bull City within easy reach. Now offered at $439,000, 1713 Avondale offers something increasingly hard to find in Durham: four bedrooms, a main-level primary, a fenced yard, flexible spaces, and a home with nearly 80 years of stories still ready for its next chapter. Showing tip: Come in from Shawnee Street and experience the home the way you'd actually live in it.
