Steeped in history and full of character, this iconic residence is one of the original homes in Hope Valley. Originally built in 1928 and designed by noted architect George Watts Carr, the home reflects the timeless influence of classic Colonial design, with architectural details that have stood the test of time.

An office and den offer dynamic work and play spaces. Two staircases provide access to the second level. The primary bedroom includes a sitting area and a generous walk-in-closet. Four additional bedrooms and two baths complete the second level. Adjacent to the family room, a fabulous screened porch with stone fireplace offers a relaxing spot to unwind. A covered porch plus front and back patios present plentiful outdoor living options. Set high on a prominent lot in one of Durham's most established neighborhoods, the sweeping front lawn offers picturesque views of the Hope Valley Country Club.

    "Hope Valley is a beautiful historic neighborhood nestled around a private country club golf course. It's a supportive community and warm and welcoming. There are lots of families with young children and you often see them walking and biking throughout the neighborhood. The yards and homes are well maintained bc home owners take pride in their properties, the HOA is voluntary. Able to walk to Bull and Bean, Only Burger, the Post Office and frozen yogurt and hair salon. The public library and another shopping center anchored by Harris Teeter and CVS is a 3-minute drive outside the HV gates."
