Some addresses are worth waiting for, and in this corner of Watts-Hillandale, the wait can be long. Rarely do they arrive completely reimagined while keeping the original charm. Designed and remodeled by CQC Home, a Triangle design-build firm, 2106 Woodrow Street was expanded beyond its original footprint, so the new space feels like it was always part of the plan. This home sits outside the local historic district, so future updates and additions don't face The same review or restrictions within the district.

Oval Park anchors it all, with open green space, a playground, a basketball court, and a calendar that includes spring egg hunts, Fourth of July parades, and one of Durham's most beloved Halloweens. Monuts is close by for pastries and coffee, LocoPops for a scoop, and Ninth Street's restaurants, cafes, and The Regulator Bookshop are all nearby. Duke, Duke Hospital, and downtown Durham are a short trip, and Ellerbe Creek Trail is nearby when you want time outdoors.

It opens toward the dining and provides easy access to the mud room and screened porch. The living room features a wood-burning stove. Original hardwood flooring in the majority of the rooms adds to the original character and charm of the home.
