Durham-based EdgeKraft Homes believes luxury shouldn't come with a workout. This new-construction, single-family attached home lets you park right at your front door and walk straight into soaring ceilings, chef-grade finishes, and a private outdoor retreat; all in walkable Old West Durham. If spending time outdoors is your idea of a good time, you'll love the three-panel glass sliders connecting the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen spaces to the screened porch and backyard. Fenced for privacy and built for entertaining, the backyard comes ready for the next gathering: a full outdoor kitchen with a gas grill, a pergola for just the right amount of shade, and turf that's as easy on the feet as it is to maintain. The screened porch has tile flooring and is pre-wired for a patio heater, so taking the chill off on a cool evening watching the game is no problem. It's also wired for the biggest flat screen you can find. And storage is everywhere in this home; right off the porch, you'll find space to stash the bikes and the rest of your sports gear, so gear-up and get-out is never a hassle. Inside, 10-foot ceilings give the home an immediate sense of volume, and a tongue-and-groove tray ceiling in the family room takes it up another foot. Upstairs, 9-foot ceilings keep things feeling open and airy. Just inside the front door, built-in cabinetry gives coats, bags, and the everyday clutter a place to disappear; out of sight, but still within reach. The living room centers on a stone, natural-gas fireplace that delivers instant cozy at the flick of a switch. The kitchen is the heart of the home. There's so much cabinet space you're sure to misplace the things you don't use everyday. A long run of cabinetry under a bank of north-facing windows doubles as a built-in coffee station, complete with its own filtration system, and still leaves enough counter space to finally take up baking and use that French rolling pin you bought in Paris a decade ago. The modern farmhouse sink adds a touch of nostalgia, and the pantry has room for everything, including a spot to hide the microwave. The Cafe appliance package will have you feeling like your favorite TV chef in no time with the 48" paneled fridge and a gas range for precise baking and total control while cooking...Bon Appétit. The powder room's alligator-print tile wall is bound to get a comment every time a guest borrows the loo. The first floor primary suite bathroom includes a double vanity with linen tower, a private water closet, a zero-entry shower with dual shower heads and LED-lit niches, and tile that might have you wondering if you're at the Four Seasons. The primary bedroom walls are finished in Romabio Mineral Wash Paint for a subtle touch of luxury. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms each come with their own bathroom. The loft includes a beverage fridge and a built-in entertainment wall. The systems are just as thoughtfully incorporated: a Trane HVAC system, spray foam insulation in the attic, and Ecobee thermostats help keep energy bills low. Add a tankless water heater and Cat 6A wiring throughout, and this home is as smart and efficient as it is stylish. At EdgeKraft Homes, we've thought of everything, right down to the coffee filtration system and storage, so all you have to do is move in and enjoy. Think of it like your favorite vacation, minus the 11am checkout.

Storybook charm and timeless character in one of Durham's most beloved in-town neighborhoods. This 1930s Watts Hillandale classic is the kind of house that fulfills dreams. From its swooping roofline and picket fence to the expansive screened porch, this home is brimming with warmth and character. Designated as a historic landmark, the Council-Arena House was beautifully built in 1937 for Jay Arena (1909), a professor of pediatrics at Duke. Inside, the gracious foyer with original banister opens to arched doorways, oversized original windows, hardwood floors, chunky moldings, and a welcoming living room with fireplace. The large dining room is adorned with historic built ins and the spacious kitchen has recent updates like quartz counters with breakfast bar, new sink, Bosch dishwasher, and a generous walk in pantry. The rear of the home is just as sweet as the front, with a quaint back porch ready to sit and swing while visiting with friends in the fenced backyard. Upstairs, the peaceful primary suite offers a rare luxury for a home of this era: an en-suite bath and large closet! Two additional bedrooms share a sweet vintage-tiled bath. A walk-in basement provides excellent storage and utility access. Set on bucolic W Club Boulevard, this is quintessential Watts Hillandale: tree-lined streets, a close-knit community, beloved traditions like the neighborhood Halloween parade, and an enviable walkable location near 9th Street, Duke, Monuts, Whole Foods, EK Powe Elementary, Oval Park and more. This beautifully preserved slice of Durham history is ready for its next chapter!
