Description
Nestled among the trees in Henderson's Old West End, this spacious 1945 Colonial Revival Estate is situated upon a sprawling 2.5 acres. Well known by the community for hosting tennis tournaments on its full-sized tennis court, this home was built to entertain. Designed by George Watts Carr, Sr., Durham's most prestigious architect of his time. Original details include hardwood floors throughout the first and second stories, high ceilings, brass doorknobs, built in bookcases, and hexagon floor tiles in the bathrooms. Timeless updates have been made to the home, featuring a brand-new kitchen with quartz counters and stainless steel appliances, renovated bathrooms, and fresh paint throughout the first floor. The large basement calls to become a gym, a craft space, a speakeasy, or all of the above. Holding untapped potential, this property is ready to deliver. Do you want to cozy up in front of the den fireplace with a good book, enjoy sweet tea on the covered patio, and cook up some new recipes in your spacious kitchen? Can you imagine yourself roasting 'mallows in the fire pit looking out over your private, wooded backyard? Are you seeing all the places for displaying holiday decor and hosting gatherings small and large? This historic home invites you to live in many directions, to explore a world that may have only been available in your heart and mind while you sought the perfect place to call home. This is it. Welcome Home!
