## Description

### Agent Description
1,757 Total Square Feet of Lovely! Some homes are all charm and no follow-through. Others are all updates and zero soul. This one? It refuses to choose. Welcome to this 1920s historic bungalow that somehow manages to be both wildly charming and incredibly responsible (yes, the unicorn is real). From the moment you arrive, it's doing the most--in the best way: 10' ceilings, gorgeous trim, oversized windows pouring in light, an arched doorway that deserves its own photoshoot, built-ins, and a double-sided fireplace that casually connects the living and dining rooms like it's been hosting dinner parties for nearly a century (because it has). And that front porch? Not just a porch. A sit-for-hours, wave-at-neighbors, lose-track-of-time kind of porch. It will absolutely sweep you off your feet... but here's the twist: this one makes sense too. Because behind the charm is a home that has been seriously cared for: rewired, re-plumbed, roof replaced, HVAC updated, and structurally inspected--with repairs completed and reviewed by an engineer. This house isn't just pretty--it's prepared to keep showing off for another 100 years. And then there's the bonus move... A fully finished, heated and cooled detached garage studio (approx. 400 sq ft) ready to be whatever you've been dreaming about: art studio, pottery haven, woodworking shop, home gym, office, guest space, or even an Airbnb income generator (just add plumbing). Yes... all of the above are equally valid life choices. Out back, you'll find a fully fenced, peaceful retreat with room to garden, entertain, or simply do absolutely nothing under the shade of a beautiful magnolia tree. No wrong answers here. And if you're wondering whether the updates are real--they are. Extensively renovated in 2020 with new plumbing, electrical, fixtures, and panel. Site-finished red oak hardwoods. A second bathroom added. And a kitchen glow-up featuring new solid wood cabinets, under-cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a tile backsplash. The ceilings were opened up in the front of the house--goodbye drop ceilings, hello vibes. Additional updates include HVAC (2020), roof (2025), floors refinished (2026), garage studio finished (2026), porch rebuilt (2026), and fresh interior paint throughout. Documentation is ready and waiting--a lot of documentation. The seller is meticulous. And the location? Watts-Hillandale. One of Durham's most beloved historic neighborhoods--walkable, connected, and full of character. Walk to Duke Hospital, restaurants, parks, and trails... and all the little moments that make a neighborhood feel like home. So yes--this house will win your heart. But unlike some love stories... this one also checks every practical box.
