This well-designed 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath PLUS bonus room ranch home offers an easy, open floor plan with updated LVP flowing seamlessly throughout. The bright living room features large windows, recessed lighting and a wood-burning fireplace and opens naturally to the dining area and renovated kitchen. The kitchen combines updated cabinetry, quartz counters, a large sink with a window overlooking the backyard, stainless steel appliances including a double oven, and a built-in pantry wall. Three spacious bedrooms are tucked away on one side of the home including the primary suite with a walk-in shower. On the opposite side, a 2022 addition adds valuable flexibility with a bonus room, half bath stubbed for a future shower, generous mudroom/entry space and an attached 2-car garage. A large laundry room with utility sink sits conveniently between the living spaces. Step outside and the 225-square-foot screened porch steals the show. Added in 2020, it features vaulted ceilings, a TV mount and plenty of room to relax or entertain while overlooking the large, flat backyard. The house sits back from the road with a large front yard featuring mature landscaping and long driveway/pad while the lot's location beside community space provides an extra layer of privacy and no HOA! All this just 10-12 minutes from Eno River State Park and the Museum of Life + Science, and approximately 15 minutes from Duke, Ninth Street, Downtown Durham, DPAC, American Tobacco Campus and some of Durham's best restaurants.
