This 1942 sweet bungalow, lovingly referred to as ''The Sunshine House'', radiates good karma. Beautiful vintage hardwood floors through the front part of the house are combined with large energy efficient windows bringing in lots of light. There is a fireplace in the living room which may need some repair but has potential to return to a cozy wood fired unit or a place for gas or electric logs. The home has a spacious eat-in kitchen and a primary bedroom suite with full bath in the back of the house which could be managed as a separate suite with it's own back door (sharing a back entry way and laundry room). The front bathroom is handicap friendly with grip bars in the shower/tub. Other handicap friendly aspects include several wide doorways and ramps to the front door, the side storage building and the back workshop. 3 bedrooms and 2 baths are located in the main house and a fully wired and air conditioned workshop/art studio is located out back. There is a curb cut (along the west curb of the house) which leads to a double gate into a big fenced backyard with potential for a driveway and possibly a garage. Public Elementary through High Schools are located from 0.7 to 4 miles away. There are also 15 private and 10 charter schools within 5 miles. Friendly neighborhood. Adjacent to Northgate Park where you can find tennis courts, picnic pavilions and trails. The City Recreation Center with a pool is nearby and the Museum of Life & Science is in walking distance along a trail with dinosaurs! Easy access to downtown Durham and I-85 via car, bus or bike, while still away from traffic at home. Move in ready or take time to update. This is a sweet gem of a house in a wonderful neighborhood. Tax amount stated is the 2025.
