## Description

### Agent Description
Picture slow mornings on the front porch and easy evenings out back--this 1920 bungalow invites you to settle into a rhythm that just feels good. With 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, the home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates, creating spaces that are both inviting and functional. Inside, the renovated kitchen (2017) with classic subway tile flows into warm, light-filled living spaces, anchored by hardwood floors installed in 2022. Out back, a private deck, fenced yard, and shed offer the kind of flexibility that fits real life--whether you're hosting friends, gardening, or simply unwinding at the end of the day. And while the charm is what you'll notice first, the behind-the-scenes work adds real peace of mind: all new ductwork, boots, and registers (2025), furnace updates (2025), crawlspace encapsulation with bio-clean (2025), and a standing seam metal roof on the back room (2024). All of this, just minutes from the heart of downtown Durham--local restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and everything that makes this part of the city so special.
