705 Brighton Road has excellent curb appeal and a great location. This house is a classic.
This is a solid, classic 1950s, brick house with large backyard just 10 minutes from Duke University.
Why don't they build houses like this anymore? It is gorgeous.
The Dining Rooms is well-defined yet open to the rest of the house.
The large kitchen has lots of cabinet space, original classic free-standing range, modern dishwasher, and rear door to the backyard vegitable garden (which you will need to plant this year).
This is the guest bathroom with full bathtub. Like the master bathroom, its has been tastefully renovated.
The master bedroom has a hardwood floor, lots of natural light, and a full bathroom (with tile shower).
The spare bedrooms also have hardwood floors and lots of natural light.
If you like hardwood floors and arched doorways, you will love this house. Notice the built-in shelf for telephone and phone book: classic 1950s.
And there is a basement, too. Can you think of ways in wihich you might use this area?
There is a large area for a washing machine and dryer.
It may look like a small one-car side-load garage from the outside, but drive inside and you will be amazed at how large it is. 30' x 29' to be exact.
Here is another view of the side-load (techincally one-car) garage.
Gardeners will love this house.
Another view of the beautiful landscaping.
Can we see the inside again? I cannot believe how cool this house is.
Hmmm. Let's see. Who could I invite to dinner?
My apologies for this photograph being blurry. I will re-take it asap.
Another view of the kitchen. Feel the need to make it even nicer? Imagine this kitchen with granite counters and a butcher block island. Someday.
Another blurry photograph. Sorry! A better photograph will be posted asap.
Did I mention that there is a nice finsihed basement?
I wish my house had a basement. Basements are cool. It can be a kid hangout place, family room, man cave, whatever. The possibilities are endless. And the storage closet on the right side of the photo is huge.
I'm calling this a workshop as it sure looks like a workshop to me. Bring your own power tools and turn up the music.
One last look at this beautiful garage. (Honey, why didn't you stage the garage?). Cheers!
