1713 Avondale DriveDurham, NC 27701

What if the address doesn't tell the whole story? This 1947 Duke Park home may face Avondale, but daily life happens from the back, with off-street parking and a private rear entrance from quiet Shawnee Street. Inside, the original home has grown right along with the people who've lived here, creating a flexible 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath floor plan full of warmth and character. Hardwood floors run through the original spaces, while an updated kitchen opens easily to the living area. The main-floor primary suite offers an ensuite bath and separation from the additional bedrooms, while upstairs, a light-filled "treehouse" room surrounded by windows and built-ins makes a memorable bedroom, office, studio, or retreat. Out back, the fenced yard, patio, and rear entrance create a surprisingly private place to come home, gather, garden, or let the dog out. And the location keeps Duke, Downtown Durham, I-85, and the best of the Bull City within easy reach. Now offered at $439,000, 1713 Avondale offers something increasingly hard to find in Durham: four bedrooms, a main-level primary, a fenced yard, flexible spaces, and a home with nearly 80 years of stories still ready for its next chapter. Showing tip: Come in from Shawnee Street and experience the home the way you'd actually live in it.
