Home Details for 1624 Kirkwood Drive

Stop scrolling - because this Durham brick ranch is about to ruin you for every other ''affordable'' home out there. Why? Because it's not just affordable, it's adorable, it's practical, and it's got that elusive unicorn combo: character and updates. Set on nearly half an acre on a tree-lined street just steps from Whippoorwill Park, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath beauty is giving you hardwood floors with soul, windows that flood the living room with light (and prime squirrel-watching opportunities), and a dining room with a wood-burning fireplace that basically demands holiday feasts, wine-fueled debates, or late-night s'mores when you don't feel like camping. The kitchen? Tile floors, solid wood cabinets, and enough counter space to attempt that 47-step Lebanese recipe you bookmarked but never tried. Two full baths, three perfectly sized bedrooms, and bonus points for a brand-new roof and water heater in 2024. Oh, and that low-maintenance brick exterior? Chef's kiss. Now let's talk backyard. It's flat. It's fenced. It's massive. We're talking ''host your own neighborhood Olympics'' level big. Volleyball, bocce, kickball, fetch, gardening, fire-pitting - it's basically a lifestyle waiting to happen. Covered patio for sipping your fancy oat-milk latte in the morning or a chilled rosé at sunset, plus a storage shed and carport to stash all your toys. And the neighborhood? Pure gold. Quiet street, super friendly neighbors (the sugar-borrowing, tomato-sharing kind), Whippoorwill Park around the corner, and downtown Durham less than 4 miles away. Farmers market Saturdays, Toast panini lunches, Food Hall dinners, Craft & Drafts beers - it's the kind of life you brag about to out-of-town friends. Bottom line: this isn't just a house. It's your ticket to fun, community, and the good life in Durham. Come see it before someone else decides it's their perfect home!
