Description

Welcome to 811 Watts Street, where the front marble steps lead you to the 28x10 rocking chair front porch. The large living room has a fireplace with gas logs and 2 sets of beautiful French doors opening to the dining room and den. A kitchen renovation done in 2008 included a new slate floor and a bump out of the back adding a breakfast area and flex space. The primary bedroom has a dressing room with closet. The third-floor attic bonus space is the "other" area (it has low ceilings but is heated and cooled). Geothermal heating and air were added in 2008. The fenced back yard has a 19x15 wired workshop, a 40x12 deck and a very fancy chicken coop. Walk 1 block to Duke East Campus. Convenient to everything great about Durham urban living - Ninth Street and Downtown Durham!
