About This Home
As of October 2024WORLD'S BEST PORCH! Seriously: if there was an entry in the Guiness Book of World Records for screened porches, this porch would win! Such a great 1963 raised ranch, nestled back into its forest setting, creating the sense that you are in a tree house even though you are only steps away from all things Duke and all things Lakewood. Upstairs find three ample bedrooms and two full baths, a keeping room (with fireplace) and lovely renovated kitchen plus a formal dining room and living room (with a fireplace!). Downstairs find a big family room (with a fireplace!) plus a full bathroom, and hundreds of square feet of storage. Outside find specimen shrubs and flowers over the half-acre-plus lot. Go ahead and break the record for quickest decision to buy a house. This one's a no brainer!
