Property Description

Urban elegance meets downtown cool! This brand-new 3-bed, 2.5-bath home—plus a detached oversized 2-car garage with a 2-bed, 1-bath apartment above (ADU)—is the perfect solution to rising housing costs! Live in the main house and rent out the ADU on Airbnb or to a long-term tenant, or live in the ADU and rent out the main home. Either way, offset a significant portion of your mortgage while enjoying modern design and timeless finishes.
Built with quality craftsmanship, this spacious home offers abundant natural light and rare downtown perks—like a 2-car garage! A full-width covered porch with custom millwork welcomes you inside, where a bright office/flex space features large French doors and ample windows. A hall closet and stylish half bath with a quartz vanity add convenience. The open living, dining, and kitchen area is an entertainer's dream, boasting stainless steel appliances, custom shaker-style cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large island with a breakfast bar, and a vent hood that exhausts to the exterior. A sleek tri-blade ceiling fan, recessed lighting, and large windows enhance the airy feel.
At the rear, a spacious drop zone offers seating, cubbies, and coat hooks, leading to a 14' x 12' screened porch with a ceiling fan and recessed lighting—ideal for outdoor relaxation. Upstairs, the owner's suite features dual closets and a luxurious bath with a glass-enclosed shower, floor-to-ceiling tile, a dual vanity with quartz countertops, and a linen closet. Two additional bedrooms share a stylish bath with a tub/shower, recessed niches, quartz vanity, and large-format tile. A huge laundry room accommodates side-by-side appliances with extra storage.
The ADU, accessed via an exterior staircase, offers a chef's kitchen with quartz counters, a breakfast bar, soft-close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and stacked laundry. The open-concept living space is bathed in natural light, while two generous bedrooms share a custom bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tile, a transom window, and a quartz-topped vanity.
The oversized 2-car garage (22' wide x 24' deep with an 8' door) fits large vehicles, includes workshop space, and offers two additional storage units—one accessible from the garage and another from the exterior. A third off-street parking space adds even more flexibility.
Located on a quiet, walkable, and bike-friendly street in a diverse historic area, this Gearwood Avenue home is just blocks from Cleveland-Holloway and Old North Durham. Don't miss this opportunity to own a stunning, income-generating property in booming Durham!
