Nestled in the highly sought-after Forest Hills neighborhood, a hilly, tree-lined retreat just five minutes from downtown Durham, this classic home sits elevated above the street with views overlooking the park below. A welcoming foyer opens to a flexible first floor with multiple living spaces, including a cozy den and a stunning, light-filled sunroom. The kitchen features an eat-in breakfast area that overlooks a private backyard complete with a stone patio and an additional side yard, which is ideal for everyday playing and entertaining. Beautiful original trim work throughout reflects the home's history, adding warmth, character, and a sense of craftsmanship that's increasingly rare. A detached two-car garage is complemented by a spacious accessory dwelling unit with a kitchenette and full bathroom above, perfect for guests, a home office, or rental potential. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy timeless charm, versatile space, and an unbeatable location in one of Durham's most established neighborhoods.
