Unique opportunity to own one of Durham's exquisite homes on iconic Oak Drive in the heart of Forest Hills neighborhood. This stately home was designed by renowned architect, George Watts Carr, in the 1920's on one of the first streets completed, dominated by elegantly designed period revival style houses. Immaculately maintained, this English cottage style home lives large with grand rooms, four ample bedrooms and two private offices. The kitchen was expanded to include the breakfast room in the 1980's. The property is situated on a lush, large, almost half acre lot with mature landscaping. Enjoy two open air patios, one which overlooks the front vista and one that overlooks the back oasis with its tiered landings, stone walls. flowering perennials, raised garden beds, and adorable garden shed. Please see history of the neighborhood and specifically Oak Drive in the property book when you visit. Owners also own the lot on Sycamore behind the house which can also be purchased separately.
