Welcome to Carolina Cottage, nestled in one of Durham's premier post WWII neighborhoods, and extensively renovated by Designer + Builder Alicia Hylton-Daniel. Your experience will be enhanced by the thoughtfully curated spaces for relaxing, renewing and re-connecting. The home is spacious, with common areas to be shared, inside and out, as well as quiet spaces to read, nap, scroll and stream. You'll enjoy a full chef's kitchen and dining room, along with a sunny porch and shaded patio.

The space
This beautiful home is situated in a supremely walkable, quiet, tree-lined neighborhood just minutes from Duke University, the NC School of Science and Math, Whole Foods, and great restaurants and bars.

The fully renovated interior space feels like "home" from the moment you walk in the front door. Scaled to honor the history of its era, the living room and dining room are open to the well-appointed chefs kitchen.

A sunny deck off the kitchen is ready for your outdoor morning coffee and evening cocktails. 65" Samsung Frame SmartTV in the living room is wifi ready for all your streaming, and the small sunroom gives space for quiet reading, offering a desk for remote work.

A hallway leads you past a half-bath to two spacious bedrooms, one with vintage twin beds and the primary has a queen bed. Their roomy shared bath has a double vanity and soaking tub/shower. All our baths are stocked with Beekman products.

Down the stairs to the ground level is a special third bedroom, with queen bed, which opens onto a private covered patio ensconced in tall pines, rhododendron and azaleas. There is a stunning full bath with full glass shower, and huge walk-in closet.

You'll also find a second area for study or work, and a full laundry.
