This cherished Colonial Revival home is nestled on a hill inside the Hermitage Court circle in the heart of Forest Hills. The 1920s residence was fully renovated to seamlessly blend historical charm with high-end modern comforts. Featuring all-brick construction, the home showcases exquisite architectural details such as a 2-story hip roof, the original door with fanlight and sidelights and stunning barrel-vaulted porch supported by elegant columns. Inside, you'll discover inviting light-filled living spaces with hardwood flooring and custom built-in cabinetry throughout. The kitchen features quartz countertops, honed marble backsplashes, pot filler, 36'' gas cooktop and built-in appliances including a double oven. The separate bar area includes a new Zephyr dual zone wine and beverage cooler, bar sink plus seating area for conversation, wine tastings or curating cocktails. The breakfast nook can also serve as an art space for the creatives to let their imaginations run wild. The main bedroom is a true oasis, complete with a luxurious dressing room, cozy coffee bar, mini refrigerator and spa-like bathroom featuring a floating double vanity and walk-in shower. The other two bedrooms have built-in desk spaces plus spacious custom closets. Set on a coveted court with alley access, the property includes a brick-paved driveway and patio plus detached 2-car garage. These outside areas are ideal for impromptu alley get togethers, solo stove s'mores, basketball, scootering or dog playdates. Experience the perfect balance of historic elegance and contemporary living in this National and Local Registered Historical gem. Just blocks from the Forest Hills clubhouse, playground, pickleball and tennis courts plus close proximity to downtown Durham, American Tobacco Trail and Campus, Durham Bulls, DPAC, Brightleaf and Duke campus and hospital. Showings will start on Friday, May 23rd.
