What This Townhouse Offers
Tucked within the Elm Grove community just moments from the beloved Hope Valley Farms neighborhood of Durham, this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath townhouse delivers... flexible, stylish living across three thoughtfully designed floors.
The main level welcomes you with high ceilings, an open floor plan, and warm wood-style flooring bathed in natural light from abundant windows. An arched entrance draws you into a kitchen designed for both function and warmth — featuring rich wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a ceramic tile backsplash, and a breakfast bar. A pantry and space for a bistro table add everyday practicality. Step out to the private deck overlooking a tranquil, tree-lined yard, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee in peace. A half bathroom with a pedestal sink completes the main floor.
The lower level is as versatile as it is comfortable, offering a second primary bedroom option or an ideal flex space for a home office or additional living area. A gas fireplace, wood-style flooring, full bath with a shower/tub combo, generous storage, and direct access to the back patio and yard make this floor truly multi-functional.
The third floor rounds out this home with two more comfortable bedrooms. A generously sized primary suite with vaulted ceilings and wonderful natural light anchors the level, complemented by an ensuite bathroom featuring a double vanity, spa soaking tub and shower combo, and ceramic tile floors. A third bedroom with backyard views shares a full hallway bath with a shower and tub combo. A dedicated laundry space on this floor keeps daily life effortlessly organized.
With two primary suite options and spaces that adapt to your needs, this Elm Grove townhouse is ready to feel like home.
Located close to UNC (9 miles) and Duke University (5 miles) with easy access to I-40, walking trails and the rest of The Triangle.
