If you`ve been looking for a home that`s close to downtown but still feels like a neighborhood, 1201 Ivy might scratch that itch. Located in historic East Durham, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home was fully renovated in 2020, with all the big stuff covered, too — new plumbing, electrical, windows, roof and gutters. A new HVAC system and ductwork followed in 2022. Inside, engineered oak hardwood floors run throughout a sunny, open layout. The kitchen is both pretty and practical, with quartz countertops, ceramic tile, stainless appliances, open shelving and enough room for everything from a quick takeout night to Thanksgiving dinner. Built-in cabinetry and a fireplace with gas logs give the living room plenty of character and make it a pretty great place to settle in for the new season of Ted Lasso. Out front, the covered porch is a sweet spot for morning coffee, while the side patio is basically another living room, perfect for dinner outside or s`mores around the Solo Stove. The mostly fenced yard provides room for gardening, pets and play, with just one gate needed to fully enclose the space. There`s no shortage of places to become a regular. Ideal`s Sandwich & Grocery, Dame`s Chicken & Waffles, Sofia`s Pizza and Pinheiro Beverage Co. are all nearby, with Golden Belt and downtown Durham just minutes away.
