Property Description
Some say: ''Location, location, location,'' but when it comes to 2401 Englewood it's: ''Location, historic charm, AND a sense of deep peace!'' Within the desirable Watts-Hillandale historic neighborhood, the Clarence Phillips house was built in 1925 and is off-the-charts when it comes to quality and character. The distinctive brick arched entry is echoed by 3 more gorgeous interior arches. Beautiful, solid-oak hardwood floors throughout (no carpets here), a lovely fireplace in the living room, plus original 4-over-4 sash windows in the living room and numerous oversized historic windows let in all the natural light. There's a unique skylight in the stairwell to the second story - charm and character greet you at every turn in this house - it just keeps coming!
The floorplan is remarkably livable! On the main level you find a large living room, formal dining room, 2 bedrooms, a full bath, a fresh and lovely kitchen with new granite counters that suit this Craftsman style home. The kitchen features an arched nook for a coming and going zone or breakfast table and a functional entryway. So many places to gather and peaceful settings to relax! Upstairs you'll find a bedroom with tons of storage and a full bathroom with character and incredible functionality! Next up: the conditioned basement; plenty of room for a home gym, art or craft studio, woodworking shop, or man cave/she shed to hang out and chill - or just tons of storage - you name it! So, so many possibilities!
This home has been meticulously maintained and cared for over the years: pre-inspected by a structural engineer. Many historic features lovingly restored which make this home a solid investment and a beautiful place to live for years to come! Interior freshly painted - along with the kitchen cabinets (inside and out). The peace of mind transcends the regular maintenance and updates. This sweet corner lot features zen-inspired walkways and stone work, gorgeous landscaping, a fire pit, off-street parking, and space for gardening, corn hole, hosting gatherings, and room for your little ones and/or furry friends to play!
And yes, the location: one of the best historic neighborhoods in all of Durham; walkable to coffee shops, bars, restaurants, shopping, Duke University, and Duke Hospital. Or a short commute to RTP, RDU, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh. Close to it all, yet a quiet and a close-knit community! Welcome to the good life!
