As the Summer Heats Up, the Water is Perfect & Inviting (just like the house)

Without a doubt, Durham is a desirable and beautiful place to call home. Its rural character, beautiful views and rich community of inhabitants make it truly special. And as I've said many times before, its proximity to metro areas and highways as well as to green spaces and state forest land, provides something for all who live here. Because of limited access to available land for building in Durham, well-priced homes seem to draw folk's attention when they come on the market.

Nestled in what I consider one of Durham's country havens is this great find on Flintlock Road. Your private and quiet cul-de-sac address on just under one acre gets you great spaces with beautiful refinished hardwood floors throughout, 3 bedrooms, and 2 full bathrooms, one featuring a brand new shower stall and tile.

The fantastic open floor plan centers around the bright, windowed family room showcasing a traditional fireplace and refinished hardwood floors, with sliding doors to the level backyard. The backyard is deep and generous and offers a private escape to sit poolside on a hot summer day. The fantastic in-ground swimming pool with a brand new liner awaits adventure with... (wait for it) a slide and diving board. Or keep cool and view the action from the peaceful, elevated screened porch. The partially finished basement with built-ins and wooden bar is fodder for your imagination - have fun dreaming up uses for this extra square footage. Additional storage features include a 2 car attached garage and outdoor shed.

There are also numerous exterior updates such as the freshly painted facade, new lighting, walkway and new storm doors and locks. Easy access to Route 17 gives commuters an edge, and you are a mere stone's throw from the Durham Recreation Area. Come and see this well-priced home with just under 1700 square feet in Durham, offering rural appeal and District 13 Schools, for just $285,000.
