About This Home
Tucked in the heart of popular Northgate Park, this darling dollhouse pairs historic charm with modern amenities. Fully renovated in 2010 by Riverbank Custom Homes, the 1948-built home features fiber cement siding, stainless-steel appliances, a refinished all-wood staircase, gutters with guards, and a brick herringbone patio. More recent updates include new light fixtures, eco-friendly flooring, fresh interior paint, a new stove and washing machine, a custom drainage system, and a brand-new dual-zone HVAC. In spring and summer, enjoy roses, peonies, and hydrangeas blooming around the home, or follow the garden path to a wired workshop that matches the house—perfect for woodworking, art, or pottery. With the potential to renovate the workshop into an ADU, plus a deep backyard shaded by mature trees, the property offers both beauty and opportunity. Just 10 minutes from Duke and walkable to the Museum of Life and Science, Redstart Foods, Durham Central Park, and the Farmers Market, this home is the ideal blend of retreat and connection.
