This 1960's classic ranch on almost a half acre private lot in Watts-Hillandale is a thoughtful mix of new and classic mid-century. A large family room with fireplace greets you and leads to a spacious dining room and updated kitchen with quartz countertops, gas stove and stainless steel appliances. The home has 3 bedrooms with ample closet space, an updated secondary bathroom and owner's ensuite bathroom with the original mid-century tile. The updated mudroom leads to the screened in porch and backyard. The fenced in and flat backyard backs up to Indian Trail Park with a buffer of mature trees to create a private oasis complete with an outdoor shower, patio and established landscaping. A wired detached workshop and open covered space offer endless possibilities. Attic and secondary storage options provide ample storage space. Enjoy the flexibility this home and spacious yard offer so close to Ninth Street (1 mile), Duke University (1.3 miles), Duke University Hospital (1.3 miles), Duke Regional Hospital (1.7 miles) and downtown Durham (2.5 miles) with easy access to Highways I-85, 15/501 and 147.
