About this House

What's unique:Specimen shrubs and flowersForest settingAmple bedroomsFamily roomHalf-acre-plus lotScreened porch
WORLD'S BEST PORCH! Seriously: if there was an entry in the Guiness Book of World Records for screened porches, this porch would win! Such a great 1963 raised ranch, nestled back into its forest setting, creating the sense that you are in a tree house even though you are only steps away from all things Duke and all things Lakewood. Upstairs find three ample bedrooms and two full baths, a keeping room (with fireplace) and lovely renovated kitchen plus a formal dining room and living room (with a fireplace!). Downstairs find a big family room (with a fireplace!) plus a full bathroom, and hundreds of square feet of storage. Outside find specimen shrubs and flowers over the half-acre-plus lot. Go ahead and break the record for quickest decision to buy a house. This one's a no brainer!

    "The large lots in this wonderful neighborhood offer privacy while the neighborhood itself offers community. With semi-annual neighborhood cookouts and wide streets that welcome walkers, it's a great place to live. The convenience to Duke (walk to basketball games from your home!) and the Al Buehler trail are a huge plus. The variety of home styles makes the neighborhood interesting."
