414 W Markham Avenue

Gandalf himself could not conjure a more charming cottage. From the period-appropriate color palette to the private front porch, you'll be spellbound from the get go. You'll be counting your lucky stars at the three bedrooms and two full baths, a bit of a rarity for the area. Spend your summer evenings being enchanted by the mature perennial garden, home to all kinds of local flora (peaches!) and fauna (bluebirds!). An absolutely divine primary bath renovation will provide an alluring retreat at the end of the day. A warm and updated kitchen is ready to support your culinary wizardry. The floor plan is old Durham at its best, with a magical flow from room to room and nary a hallway in sight. The detached garage is no illusion - storage for bikes and gardening tools will be an absolute breeze. You'll need the bikes for those quick jaunts downtown to enjoy a (witches) brew at one of the many Durham watering holes or to fetch ingredients from the farmers' market. A terraced backyard offers a peaceful spot for you and your crew to hang around a fire pit (or cauldron, if that's your vibe). You've pulled a rabbit out of a hat with this one, so don't let it pass you by!
