Property Description

AN EXCEPTIONAL DUKE-AREA OPPORTUNITY! FULLY FURNISHED, STRONG RENTAL HISTORY & BACKING TO WALLTOWN PARK. Located just 0.6 miles from Duke University's East Campus and convenient to Ninth Street's restaurants, shops and amenities, this move-in-ready 3-bedroom, 2-bath bungalow offers an appealing option for investors, owner-occupants, or parents seeking housing for a student while attending Duke. Even better, the property is being sold fully furnished, including furniture and wall-mounted TVs, and has a strong rental history—making it an attractive turnkey opportunity with minimal setup required. The home backs directly to Walltown Park, providing an open park-side setting with recreational amenities just beyond the backyard. Another standout feature is the potential to assume the seller's FHA loan at an exceptionally low 2.750% interest rate, subject to lender approval and buyer qualification. Buyer must cover or separately finance the difference between the outstanding loan balance and purchase price. Rebuilt from the studs in 2002, the home offers newer construction than many properties in the surrounding area while retaining classic bungalow appeal. Inside, you'll find a spacious living room and kitchen, updated luxury vinyl plank and tile flooring, and a newer all-electric heat pump. The kitchen includes a newer refrigerator, range/oven and dishwasher, while a full-size washer and dryer also convey. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and private bath with double vanity. Outside, the large backyard is enclosed by a 6-foot privacy fence, and the walk-in crawlspace provides substantial, easily accessible storage—a particularly useful feature for bikes, student belongings, seasonal items and furnishings between tenants. Low-maintenance vinyl siding, city water and sewer, included appliances and furnishings, established rental history, proximity to Duke and a park-side location make this a property with outstanding flexibility and long-term appeal. Vacant and easy to show. Move right in or have it ready for its next occupant without the expense and hassle of furnishing a home from scratch.
