Description

At 3815 Swarthmore, even the view that greets you at the end of the driveway has a way of quietly improving your day. Big grassy yard. Mature trees. Dappled shade. Sometimes that's the whole pitch. But here, there's more to love beyond the backyard, including a light-filled sunroom that practically insists you slow down for a minute. The layout balances openness and separation in all the right places, with beautiful backyard views and room to spread out comfortably. Thoughtful built-ins throughout...At 3815 Swarthmore, even the view that greets you at the end of the driveway has a way of quietly improving your day. Big grassy yard. Mature trees. Dappled shade. Sometimes that's the whole pitch. But here, there's more to love beyond the backyard, including a light-filled sunroom that practically insists you slow down for a minute. The layout balances openness and separation in all the right places, with beautiful backyard views and room to spread out comfortably. Thoughtful built-ins throughout the home add both character and function, including a fantastic built-in desk workspace and living room shelving that nods to the home's era in the best possible way. Outside, perennials keep handing the seasons off to one another, while the Japanese maple out front steals the show twice a year. Multiple outdoor spaces make it just as easy to host friends as it is to disappear with a book for an hour, and the large two-car garage adds even more flexibility for storage, hobbies, projects, or gear. And then there's the location. Tucked into one of South Durham's most convenient pockets, you're minutes from all that Durham has to offer while still convenient to Chapel Hill and I-40 for commuting. Close to Hope Valley, the American Tobacco Trail, Duke Forest, and everyday essentials. Grab brunch at Guglhupf, dinner downtown, then come home to a neighborhood where evening walks are still part of the neighborhood rhythm.
