Welcome to 5020 Mimosa Drive, a peaceful retreat tucked at the end of a quiet street in South Durham. Surrounded by mature trees and filled with natural light, this home offers the best of both worlds: privacy and serenity with the convenience of shops, trails, and local favorites just minutes away. Inside, the open layout connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, perfect for both everyday living and gathering with others. The kitchen features ceiling-height cabinets, soft-close drawers, and a walk-in pantry with custom wood shelving. Both main-level bedrooms include large closets with wood-built systems, and thoughtful touches like a built-in entry nook help keep daily life organized. The recently finished basement adds incredible flexibility with a private bedroom, full bath, and extra living space. With its own exterior entrance, this area is ideal for guests, working from home, or rental potential. Step outside and enjoy the sense of calm that defines this home. Whether you are sipping coffee on the front porch, watching birds in the yard, or heading just three-quarters of a mile to the American Tobacco Trail, this is a place to slow down and savor. 5020 Mimosa has been a space of peace, connection, and care. Now it is ready for its next chapter.

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by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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