A truly unique mid-century modern gem, this remarkable home blends iconic design with modern updates and unexpected industrial elements. The Russell Robinson House at 115 Ashworth Drive in Durham, NC, was designed, built, and originally owned by Robinson himself in 1954! This property showcases striking angles, clean lines, and an abundance of natural light thanks to expansive commercial-grade windows. With 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a layout that's both functional and artfully inspired, this home is unlike anything you've seen. An abundance of recessed lighting throughout, the space feels both open and warmly illuminated. A separate dwelling offers great potential as an art studio or future ADU, with income-producing possibilities or added space for creative use. The renovated kitchen features a sleek, contemporary aesthetic with a large center island, quartz countertops, ceramic tile backsplash, and open shelving. Wood-grain slab cabinets without pulls keep the look minimal and modern, while stainless steel appliances—including a Bosch slide-in range/oven, Whirlpool built-in under-counter microwave, dishwasher, and Whirlpool refrigerator—offer both form and function. The adjacent family room is anchored by a dramatic feature wall with geometric wood paneling and a linear gas fireplace, creating a striking focal point and a cozy gathering space. The main-floor theater room features dark walls, plush carpet, and a ceiling-mounted projector, creating the perfect setting for movie nights. It adjoins a remodeled full bath with sleek, modern finishes—ideal for guests or entertaining. The second floor features the primary bedroom with bamboo hardwoods, large windows, a built-in dresser cabinet, and two closets. A second bedroom offers peaceful views of the surrounding trees. The lower level features two spacious bedrooms with bamboo flooring and large windows that frame serene wooded views. One of the rooms includes custom built-ins and a convenient pull-down Murphy bed. A fully renovated full bath features a geometric tile floor and ceramic tile wainscoting. A stackable washer and dryer is conveniently included on this level. Come experience the angles, artistry, and architectural charm for yourself—this one-of-a-kind home is best appreciated in person. Schedule your private tour today!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
