Description
First time on the market in 50 years. This charming 1941 Cape Cod is tucked into the cherished Watts-Hillandale neighborhood on a generous 0.26-acre lot. Inside, original character meets thoughtful updates including a kitchen renovation in 2017, while cozy wood paneling and original hardwoods warm the living and dining areas. An expansion in the late '80s added modern convenience with a main-level primary suite, powder room, and a versatile lower-level flex space that opens directly to the backyard. Step outside to the expansive, recently refreshed screened porch, the perfect spot to enjoy the seasons and a private backyard that feels like its own little sanctuary. Storage is abundant: a walk-in crawl space with a separate room ideal for a workshop, plus floored attic space. Don't let the charming exterior fool you, the interior is surprisingly spacious, with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The home sits in a community of tree-lined streets and a genuine neighborhood culture. At its heart is Oval Park, with open green space, a playground, and a basketball court, plus a year-round lineup of events including spring egg hunts, Fourth of July parades, and one of Durham's most popular Halloween celebrations. Whole Foods, Ninth Street's restaurants, cafés, and The Regulator Bookshop are an easy walk away. Welcome home to 2014 Wilson.
