This Marydell gem is everything you've been waiting for. Thoroughly updated with thoughtful touches throughout, this home offers curb appeal, comfort, and flexibility in one beautifully wrapped package. Step onto the welcoming front porch and into a light-filled foyer with views straight through to the landscaped backyard. The main floor features a cozy sunroom perfect for movie nights, a breakfast nook that catches the morning light, and an expansive kitchen with a large island, custom walk-in pantry, and stylish lighting. You'll also find a formal dining room, family room, guest suite, and a formal living room with a gas fireplace and custom raised hearth. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with a custom-designed walk-in closet and a spacious bathroom with soaking tub and double vanities. Three more generously sized bedrooms and an additional full bath round out the second level. Out back, a custom patio with a built-in fire pit and pergola invites you to relax or entertain under the stars. And then there's the bonus: a detached garage with a fully equipped 2-bedroom apartment—complete with full kitchen, bathroom, and washer/dryer. Whether you use it for guests, a nanny, an in-law suite, or rental income, the possibilities are wide open thanks to no restrictive HOA. Located in the heart of South Durham, just minutes from Duke, UNC, and all the best the area has to offer—this home is truly the full package.
