Fabulous Colonial with 2 Master Suites!

Young and well maintained, this standout 5 bedroom Colonial offers a rare neighborhood retreat on a cul-de-sac dotted with fine homes.

Sometimes, you come across a home offering a little more of the things that matter most to you. When you see such a property, everything starts to look and feel like an upgrade. For instance, you may have only wanted three bathrooms, but you find one with four. Or perhaps you hoped for a two acre lot - minimum - and you find a home offering more than three acres. 

While Durham offers great variety in home styles, the majority are modestly built. This home on Sycamore Drive is no exception as it maintains a modest frame, sparing itself the derogatory McMansion labeling because it's spaces are deceptively gracious and not gratuitous. For most of us, including large families, or those of us bringing multiple generations under one roof, this standout 5 bedroom Colonial can be described as having it all.

Built in 2002, it marries tradition with modern spaces such as a second master suite on the main floor. It is quality built, pristine and well maintained. Relish your location with a private set-back from the road and enjoy the established neighborhood on a cul-de-sac dotted with other fine homes. Not overbuilt, every inch of its 3414 square feet flows with well-intentioned family spaces with conveniences such as first floor laundry room and four crisp bathrooms (three full). The newly painted interior is open and bright with many large windows, shining hardwood floors, hardworking tiles, and two staircases. The main level flaunts a regal flair with tradition and taste in the perfect living room with fireplace and grand dining room embracing a passionate red palate.
