Picture yourself living in Durham's vibrant Northgate Park community, just blocks from the famed Museum of Life and Science, Ellerbee creek and Bronto trails; tennis, swimming, and and rock quarry dog park, all in your neighborhood and then, there's restaurants, shopping and major amenities flanking the neighborhood. Now, picture yourself having all that, AND your own private sanctuary. No kidding, this is a rare jewel. The first thing you'll notice is the professionally designed landscaping. This home gets an A+ on curb appeal! Welcome through the front door and you know you're home. Enjoy year around indoor/outdoor living in this versatile home. The kitchen feels beautifully serene with it's glass tile backsplash, stainless steel apron sink (that gorgeous designer roman shade above it comes with the house if you like)You're cookin' with gas of course, on a sealed, five burner cooktop with a swing arm pot filler. Built-in wall oven and microwave surrounded by tons of thoughtful storage. There's even a breakfast bar for your fans to watch you in action. Entertaining or just hanging out, this open layout works. The downstairs ensuite bedroom has a walk in shower, and walk in closet, offering flexibility in how you want to live. Upstairs offers another spacious Primary Suite facing the backyard gardens. A split dual vanity gives everyone plenty of space to get ready. Across the hall, theres an additional bedroom and full bathroom, and a big sunlit bonus space at the end of the hall. Maybe it's your art studio, maybe a playroom, teen room, or a great spot to watch the game. It's got it's own half bath. Outside, the backyard is one of the current owners favorite things, the stunning backyard gardens. Did I mention the flowers? Sit back on the screened porch, listen to the fountain and watch the butterflies and birds and take in the sanctuary from every angle. The fully fenced private yard has room for all kinds of fun! The grilling deck features a new retractable awning, so you can be out there in any weather. The gas grill is plumbed in and will stay if you like it. Perhaps some of the biggest pluses are the things you don't see. Energy efficiency in the sealed crawlspace, tankless hot water heater and dual fuel heat systems. Oh and there's a two car garage and automatic irrigation system and outdoor lighting. Single owner, immaculately maintained and ready for it's next caretaker, this one is a rare find.
