125 Briarcliff Rd

Beautiful home in higly desirable Forest Hills is as close to perfection as Durham offers! Fully furnished, stately two-story home with a separate, sunny office on the main floor. Three bedrooms on the top floor provide flexibility for four (or even five, if two children share a room) people, or rooms for visitors, other hobbies or activities. The partially finished basement provides spacious and easy storage, as well as the washer and dryer. The home retains the sense of history and charm from the 1948 original structure, including a wood burning fireplace, a cozy dining room, and a lovely bench/cabinet area at the side entrance. At the same time it has been enhanced with additional, more modern space that welcomes in the sun and sky, especially in the large, open kitchen and the large-windowed sitting room. Fully fenced backyard makes it perfect for a dog, and there is space for herb/vegetable gardening. It is less than 3 miles to either East or West Campus of Duke University, easily bike-able, or just a few minutes by car. Walk or bike the Tobacco Road Greenway ( accessed directly from the neighborhood) into Downtown Durham! In addition to Downtown, there are several malls and commercial strips within easy driving distance, so every necessity -- post office, parcel centers, groceries, gas stations, pharmacies, movie theatres, coffee shops -- is easily accessible.
