Property Description
Nestled at the gateway to the highly sought-after Trinity Park, this mid-century California classic home, designed by the renowned architect George Hackney and built by Hackney & Knott, holds a rich history. Constructed between 1954 and 1955 for the WH Penny family, the home stands as a testament to the family's legacy. The Pennys, who owned a successful retail furniture company, were not only business leaders but also active members of the community, contributing to the preservation of open land near New Hope Creek.
Now, this exceptional property offers a serene garden oasis, complete with banana trees, persimmons, figs, plums, and strawberries—creating a perfect ''Garden of Eden'' for its next owner. Whether you're seeking a tranquil retreat or a place to entertain, this home provides it all. And while the garden offers respite, the location is equally remarkable. Just a short stroll to downtown Durham, the Central Park Farmers Market, or nearby attractions like DPAC, Durham Bulls Athletic Park, and Duke Hospital.
The home has been extensively renovated to blend its timeless charm with modern conveniences. The kitchen remodel was designed to bring joy to any home chef, while recent updates like a new HVAC system and ductwork in 2022, and the roof replaced in 2018 ensure peace of mind for years to come. Both the exterior and interior have been thoughtfully painted, enhancing the home's aesthetic appeal. The large fenced backyard, complete with a hot tub, large deck, and two sunrooms, provides an ideal setting for relaxation or social gatherings. (And the Jacuzzi Hot Tub and the Green Egg conveys!)
Additional updates include beautifully remodeled bathrooms, interior and exterior paint, custom blinds, gutter guards creating a harmonious blend of function and style. With all of these improvements, this home is ready to welcome a new steward who will appreciate its history, its beauty, and its prime location near everything Durham has to offer.
