Bungalow Beauty in Lakewood/Tuscaloosa Welcome to this charming bungalow nestled on a sunny corner lot in one of Durham's most charming neighborhoods—Lakewood/Tuscaloosa. So close to local favorites like Saltbox Seafood Joint and Guglhupf Bakery, this home blends classic character with thoughtful updates in an unbeatable location. Step inside to find wood flooring flowing through most of the home, adding warmth and timeless appeal. The living room invites you in with a cozy gas fireplace and a custom-designed mantle, creating the perfect gathering spot for relaxing evenings or entertaining. A galley-style kitchen offers functionality and style with a new gas range, stainless dishwasher and open shelving that brings a modern, airy feel to the space. Just off the kitchen, the dining room stands out with its retro-inspired black-and-white tile flooring and connects to a spacious utility/laundry room with extra storage space. All appliances convey, making your move-in seamless. The bathroom has been thoughtfully renovated with stylish tile work, combining classic charm with modern comfort. The home also features a flex room currently used as a home office, ideal for remote work or creative pursuits. Enjoy outdoor living with two covered spaces: a welcoming front porch and a covered back patio ideal for cookouts or relaxing with a book. The corner lot adds extra yard space, and great natural light throughout the home. Foundation work completed in 2024 with lifetime warranty. Updated plumbing in 2021 includes water heater, washing machine valve, high efficiency toilet, exterior faucet and new main water shut-off. Some electrical upgrades too.
