Home Description
Originally built around 1900 by local grocer James Burns, this striking home blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates. Completely revitalized in 2016, the property now features a beautifully landscaped lot, an expansive multi-level deck, and a stunning accessory dwelling unit (ADU) above a heated and cooled garage—currently outfitted as a home gym.
Inside the main house, you'll find gleaming hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and high-quality finishes throughout. The spacious kitchen opens to the rear deck, perfect for entertaining or relaxing among mature greenery. From this serene perch, enjoy unique views of Durham's industrial past and the creative reimagining of historic mill buildings nearby.
Upstairs, the home offers three comfortable bedrooms and two tastefully tiled bathrooms, creating a peaceful retreat just minutes from downtown.
Tucked at the back of the property is a charming, light-filled studio apartment—an architectural gem that feels like an upscale treehouse. Ideal for guests, an au pair, a home office, or a creative studio, the space sits atop a large one-car garage and overlooks the expansive, flat backyard framed by lush plantings.
Despite its tucked-away feel, this property is just a short walk or bike ride to some of Durham's most beloved spots. The nearby Golden Belt District offers art studios, local makers, and live music—all within a mile.
701 Holloway is more than just a home—it's a story of Durham's past, present, and future, wrapped into one very special place.
