The best that Forest Hills has to offer! This charming bungalow will steal your heart the moment you pull up. From it's immediate curb appeal to the private, fenced and large backyard, this home doesn't just look like a hug, it feels like one too. Enter into the large family room anchored by original wood burning fireplace bathing in natural light through updated windows and featuring original gleaming hardwoods. The main living space flows nicely to two options: a gorgeous dining room and modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances and modern, white cabinetry or two spacious bedrooms situated on either side of the updated 2022 bathroom featuring frameless glass shower, updated toilet, tile, vanity, and light fixtures as well as new bathroom plumbing pipes and water heater. Retreat upstairs for added privacy in the comfort of a vaulted guest bedroom, private half bath and a flex space perfect for home office, gym or hobby room. There's no lack of storage for the square footage with dormer storage and a site-built garden shed in the backyard. Relax by gardening in raised beds, nurture chickens for daily eggs, grill out on the paved section or simply sit and enjoy the fire pit - the options for this fenced area are endless! Walking distance to Downtown Durham, Forest Hills Park, Rockwood Shopping Center and more - this home is also minutes from Duke University, the Tobacco Trail, and Highway 147/I-885. A perfect home or investment - this one checks all the boxes!
