About This Home

As of November 2024

Step Back in Time with Modern Flair - The Johnny Rigsbee House Awaits!

Ready to live in a slice of Durham history? Say hello to the Johnny Rigsbee House, a charming 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom gem right in the heart of the delightful Lakewood neighborhood. Built in 1917, this home is brimming with character and now has all the modern perks you'll love.

Imagine yourself sitting on the large wraparound porch on a warm NC summer evening, as you catch up with good friends sipping your beverage of choice. Inside, the gorgeous hardwood floors set a warm, welcoming tone throughout the house. The updated kitchen is a chef's dream, and features lacquered countertops made from materials salvaged from the home, blending vintage vibes with today's stylish conveniences. And let's not forget the bathrooms - fresh and modern with a touch of historic charm.

With four spacious bedrooms, there's plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The fenced private yard is perfect for outdoor fun, BBQs, or just lounging in your own little sanctuary. Off-street parking makes life a breeze, and you're just a hop, skip, and a jump away from everything you need.

Walk to the grocery store, grab a coffee, or enjoy a meal at local restaurants, all just steps from your door. Duke University is a mere 4-minute drive away, and downtown Durham is just 6 minutes away - talk about convenience!

An added feature of this home is that it can be converted to a duplex quite easily. Presently it has two meters. Zoning also has indicated an ADU can be erceted on the property, if desired.

Once the home to Wellville Massage, the positive energy here is undeniable. We think you'll agree this is a unique opportunity to own a piece of history with a playful modern twist. Book your showing of the Johnny Rigsbee House today and experience it for yourself. For a sneak peek, explore the virtual tour.
