About this House

Absolutely beautiful renovated cottage with everything one could want and more! Starting with the huge open kitchen which is truly the heart of this home. Featuring a gas stove, an uber fancy fridge, so much cabinet and countertop space, and the best island you have ever seen (not kidding! Just see for yourself!). Not only is this truly a chef's kitchen but it's where your favorite people will gather to eat, laugh, and just enjoy being together. There's plenty of space for them to join in on the fun, nibble on food while sitting on the island, or enjoy lounging on the couch while chatting. So many treasures can be found throughout 212 E Rockway. From the one of a kind, artist painted wall to the super stylish wall paper to the fabulous primary suite with upgraded doors leading to the screened in porch. Oh, and this spacious (14x16!) screened in porch with vaulted ceilings is not one to miss. It feels like a true extension of the home where you can have a quiet moment to yourself while the birds chirp in the background or enjoy the company of family and friends over dinner and drinks. The deck is perfect to add a hot tub (it's already reinforced!) and to finish plumbing the outdoor shower (it's almost all ready for you...just add water). Need a little more of a getaway? Look no further than the backyard, climate controlled, detached building (not permitted but built by a professional). Spacious backyard is private with plenty of space to roam and garden. Inside and out, this warm, welcoming, and inviting home is a dream come true.

I wish I could find an appropriate rental here. I am on the edge in a house I have afforded to live in for twenty-nine yrs. The house was recently sold and I find that I may be under the bridge at age 79 due to so-called gentrification . Durham is known for undermining it's citizens in the name of progress.
