About this House
Life is easy on RUFFin Street. This single-story 1950s bungalow pairs classic hardwood floors with bright interiors and a clean, modern style, while the backyard steals the show. The large fenced yard is filled with mature greenery and offers plenty of space to garden, gather or unwind, while the detached garage provides excellent storage. Set on a quiet dead-end street just north of Trinity Park, the home is close to downtown, Ninth Street and Broad Street favorites, with quick access to I-85 and convenient proximity to Duke University and Duke University Health System. Nearby Ellerbe Creek trails lead south toward downtown and north toward the Museum of Life and Science and its shaded dog park. A peaceful little pocket with the best of Durham close at hand. Driveway is a shared driveway and is on the left as you are facing the house. (see shared driveway access easement and survey in MLS docs). Neighbor's driveway for 1709 Ruffin St encroaches (see survey and encroachment agreement in MLS docs).

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is truly focused on building community. I have two kids at Club and each teacher for the last 5 years has been kind, responsive, knowledgeable, respectful and energetic. The staff and principal work tirelessly to improve and respond to needs. For example, during our first or second year the parent survey asked for improvement in school and teacher communication. The staff and teachers then implemented a school-wide communication tool and stuck with it, greatly improving communication between teachers, families and leadership. And teachers were so creative and flexible when the school board kept the schools remote until March. This is a place where everyone knows your name and you are truly cared about as part of a whole. The guidance counselor is amazing, too.Other Review5y ago - Riverside High School
