Description
Notable on Northgate! In a world full of bland new construction, this 1940 bungalow is a charmer. Centered around a beautiful park and Ellerbe Creek, alongside its adjacent trail bearing the same name, the area of Durham that is now Northgate Park was once known as Durham's bird sanctuary for good reason. A block away, you can follow a short, paved walking trail past the hidden legendary Northgate Park "bronto" - a famed remnant of the Museum of Life and Science dating back to the 60's. Beyond the museum - named a runner-up for USA TODAY's Best Science Museum award in 2026 - lies Rock Quarry Park, in case you are in need of a SECOND beautiful, walkable park. The Ellerbe Creek Trail runs in the other direction through a wooded trail with easy walking/biking access to downtown Durham. Neighbors love to travel down the trail to walk to the Durham Farmer's Market and vibrant downtown Durham. This home is perched on Northgate Street, a single block away from the aforementioned park, trail, and creek. The original 1940 charm radiates through, while a tasteful addition enhances the space and introduces modern amenities to this classic bungalow. A generous dining room with a built-in bench complete with storage and a custom-built wooden dining table seats ten! The kitchen is open concept and updated with a large kitchen island - without abandoning designated spaces, thoughtful design, and timeless character. The highlight of the home is the oversized primary suite, which offers an ensuite bathroom and - my personal favorite - a walk-in closet with all of the bells and whistles, equipped to be a dressing room. Two more charming bedrooms with a full bathroom complete the home, and a red barn-inspired shed adds unbeatable outdoor storage to the fenced-in yard. 1814 Northgate's next owner(s) will be the luckiest in the neighborhood.
