A rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind, fully renovated mixed-use building in the heart of Downtown Durham in a highly walkable location. Located in the highly sought-after Design District (DD-S1), 217 Hood Street seamlessly blends historic charm with modern design. The property features four beautifully finished 2-bedroom residential units and a third-floor commercial office suite, all thoughtfully crafted with high-end finishes and timeless architectural details. The third-floor suite is currently leased to BETTER (owned and operated by the seller) through 3/31/2026 and includes a full kitchen, two private offices, a conference room, and two bathrooms. Rent and extension terms are negotiable, offering flexibility for investors or owner-occupants. The building has been meticulously restored to provide both comfort and character. Each residential unit boasts hardwood floors, designer kitchens, custom tilework, in-unit laundry, and private outdoor space, including expansive porches and balconies—delivering a level of quality rarely found in multifamily assets. The commercial suite offers a dramatic and functional workspace with open-concept layout, exposed beams, skylights, and modern bath/kitchenette buildouts—perfect for creative professionals, boutique agencies, or continued owner-occupancy. Walkable downtown location, steps from Ponysaurus Brewing, DPAC, the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, and a wide array of restaurants, cafes, and cultural amenities. Quick access to Highway 147 and public transit.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
