Historic Trinity Park -- Durham, NC -- Buy a little history with your NEW HOME! ( Priced from the low 200's )

Yesterday, I wrote ADORABLE Bungalow...walk to Duke University, Ninth Street and Brightleaf Square! JUST $83,500!!! profiling one of my listings that is just outside of Historic Trinity Park in Durham, NC. In my profile, I included a little (virtual) tour of the neighborhood...highlighting Ninth Street, Brightleaf Square and Duke's East Campus.

Today...I'd like to continue the 'tour' and show you some other homes that are currently for sale in the Trinity Park area. So...grab your most comfortable tennis shoes, your sunglasses and a bottle of water...LET'S GO!

The first stop on our tour is 401 N. Gregson Street...one of the oldest row houses in North Carolina. Built in the 19th century for Brodie Duke as his guest house...this home has been lovingly restored to its original luxury and charm. Love the high ceilings and heavy mouldings of yesterday...but want the convenience of today...this is the perfect home for you! Just $229,900!

Just down the road...our next stop is this gorgeous townhome at 309 N. Gregson Street. With almost 2000 square feet, beautiful hardwood floors and high ceilings...you will not know what to do with ALL THIS SPACE! At $264,900...this home will not be available for long.

I cannot wait to show you our next home on the tour! This precious, 2 story vintage cottage at 113 W. Trinity Avenue really gets my attention. When I look at this home, I think 'English garden'. Would you like to sit in the screened porch for a little while before we visit the next home? At $269,000...this home is an ABSOLUTE MUST SEE!

There is still so much to see before the sun fades. Our next stop is 1320 N. Gregson Street. Built in 1928, this fabulous 2600 square foot home has survived the last eight decades without losing its 1920's personality. Own a piece of history for ONLY $269,900!

916 Dacian Avenue is undergoing a complete renovation...1930 and 2008 collide to create THE HOME OF YOUR DREAMS! Energy efficient and built 'green'...you'll LOVE this Historic Trinity Park beauty! JUST $379,000!

Heading back over to 1405 Gregson Street...we are going to take a look at this 1948 all brick home with a detached garage and basement! You will love the Southern charm of this elegant home...with oak hardwoods and formal dining room with built-in hutch. Come home to Trinity Park for $399,500!

There are only two homes remaining on our tour, but I have certainly saved the best for last! IF you are looking for a truly spectacular home...look no further. This 1927 estate has been completely RESTORED and IMPROVED! With the most amazing gourmet kitchen I've seen in years...you will want to entertain all the time. Did I mention the ENCLOSED POOL? This stunning executive home has just been reduced $50,000 to $948,000

Last...but definitely not least...we conclude our tour at 1014 W. Markham Avenue. This 1926 J.O. Lunsford Dutch Colonial home occupies three lots and has all of the architectural detailing you would expect. Having lived just a few homes down from this beauty for years...I can attest to this home's eloquence and special presence. Claim your place in this home's history for $986,000.

Historic Trinity Park in Durham, NC is a wonderful place to live.

I called this neighborhood home from 1983 through 1987

I loved those old homes when we drove through there.  They all seemed so majestic!  And those tree lined streets were just incredible.  Can't wait to get down there!  I'm like a kid in a candy store!  GBU, sis!
