Home Description
Once in a while a home hits the market that takes your breath away. Welcome to this extraordinary Marydell home, where charm, elegance, and a sprinkle of magic come together in perfect harmony. Situated on a picturesque corner lot in one of South Durham's most coveted neighborhoods, this home has been meticulously renovated and reimagined by a designer's eye, blending understated luxury with just the right touch of flair.
From the moment you see it, the extraordinary landscaping and spacious front porch welcome you in. Step inside to be greeted by a foyer that feels like a hug — light fixtures twinkle overhead and the rich, site-finished oak hardwoods lead you into spaces that whisper home.
Wander a few steps further, and you'll find yourself in the heart of the home: a kitchen that's practically a work of art! Flooded with natural light from bay windows and sporting elegant finishes, high-end appliances, and a vibe that says ''I'm fabulous but I'm also practical,'' this kitchen is ready for everything from raucous dinner parties to laid back gatherings. The breakfast nook is perfect for sipping coffee and birdwatching. And let's not forget the scullery and formal dining room — together, they make meal prep and dining feel like a luxurious, yet effortlessly fun experience.
Just off the kitchen, a cozy sunroom with its own mini-split heat pump is the perfect place to curl up with a blanket and a book, or maybe just sit and let the sunshine wash over you. The formal living room — complete with a custom gas fireplace with a raised hearth — is the ultimate spot for enjoying a glass of wine (or two?) while entertaining guests. Need more? A snug den with two sets of double doors and a guest suite with an en-suite bath complete the main level, ensuring both you and your visitors feel right at home.
Venture upstairs to discover the spacious primary suite with a spa-like bathroom and custom walk-in closet that could rival any boutique — a retreat so luxurious you may never want to leave! But if you do, you'll find three more spacious bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a laundry room that's so conveniently located, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
Step outside, and the backyard is an entertainer's dream come true. Picture yourself lounging on the rear deck (with composite decking that's as stylish as it is durable), or enjoying your custom patio under a whimsical pergola. Firepit? Check. A backyard that's both beautiful and functional? Absolutely.
The detached oversized 2-car garage is more than just a place to park — it comes with its own electric meter and is ready to accommodate two EV chargers for eco-friendly living. Above the garage, a delightful 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment awaits. Whether you use it for guests, a home office, or as an income-producing rental unit, the possibilities are as endless as your imagination.
And the cherry on top — two separate solar panel systems (one on the main house and one on the garage) and two recently installed, high-efficiency heat pumps are here to help you save energy and keep utility bills down year-round.
This spectacular property combines fun, function, and fabulous design. You'll be scratching your head and wondering why the sellers would ever want to leave...hurry up before they change their minds!!
