Built in 1950

Like something out of a storybook, this charming 1950s home is reminiscent of Margaret Wise Brown's 'The Little Blue House'. The front porch, vintage door knobs, solid wood doors, and checkered kitchen floors are giving all the cozy and nostalgic feels. The charms of yesteryear are complemented by recent upgrades including newly refinished hardwood floors and a refreshed bathroom. Other 2024 updates include a brand new roof, hot water heater, plumbing, repainted interior, recent crawlspace work, and a partially re-sided/repainted exterior. HVAC was installed in 2022. With a fig tree in the center, the backyard is ready to be transformed to someone's haven. Located just 7 mins from downtown Durham and 11 mins to RTP, this abode offers proximity to major highways, putting the Triangle region at your fingertips. 2116 Aiken is a blank page awaiting your next chapter!
