$1,250,000

Welcome to 210 E Trinity Ave in Old North Durham a captivating, charming, & historically significant Victorian home of the c.1890s. After a complete renovation by award-winning historic home experts Pier & Curtain, this showpiece home has new life and all the Classic Queen Anne charm; a steeply pitched… Read More roof, gorgeous stained glass, polygonal front dormer, decorative rondels, ornate brackets, balusters and more. The front porch covered and wide, perfect for rocking chairs or small planters, captures the sociable spirit of its era. The detailed landscaping creates an amazing secret garden accessed either via a moon gate or an elegant kitchen staircase. It features a beautiful reclaimed brick patio that mirrors the arched silhouettes you see throughout the home. The exterior charms only begin to hint at the amazing interior features with impossibly high ceilings & incredible natural light gleaming off the reclaimed hardwood floors, impeccable hardware and lighting selections, vintage mirrors and tile at each of the 4 fireplaces, massive original pocket doors. In the jaw dropping kitchen you'll find a range hood and a sink both in hand-hammered copper, wall oven, soapstone inspired honed granite for style but easy maintenance, pantry, pot filler, and a custom storage wall that must be seen to be fully appreciated. Custom doors between the kitchen and living room tuck neatly away to allow for an open concept feel, or seamlessly swing into place to separate the spaces. Via massive mahogany french doors, step out onto the cafe terrace for your morning cup of coffee or to gather herbs. Its shape references the main turret at the front of the home- Just the kind of unique and thoughtful detail blending historic and modern luxury that you would expect from Pier & Curtain Home Restoration. After exploring the ample living room, main level ensuite bedroom, the other bedrooms with original beadboard ceilings and fireplaces, and reveling at the original details including the glass transom and sidelights in the grand hall, round stained glass windows, you really want to see what's upstairs. Gaze up to the soaring 24' lofted stairwell illuminated with solar tubes by day, and an ornate chandelier in the evening. Mount the carefully restored main staircase to a spacious landing/reading nook. From there enter the media area/den, past the half bath, conditioned storage closet and you have arrived at the serene primary bedroom suite. Matching dormers with bench seats flanking the room and a bed steeped in treetop views? You have found your sanctuary, but this is only the beginning. Continuing past the bedroom is an incredible sun lit double vanity en suite and dressing area, plus a pocket office/nursery. From there enter your private spa; a luxurious shower and soaking tub tucked into the vaulted turret, gilded with stained glass, and fit for Queen Anne herself, (along with her Prince George) if her life story was reinterpreted in the modern South. Just north of Downtown, Old North Durham is short blocks to Award-winning Little Bull Restaurant and Durham Beer Garden, walkable to Geer Street restaurants and bars, Cocoa Cinnamon, Durham Central Park with Durham Food Hall and the Farmers' Market. It's also very close to The Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC), Whole Foods, Duke East Campus and Brightleaf Square, as well as multiple bike paths and greenways. Everything that makes the Bull City fabulous is right at your disposal. This home blends historic detail and modern luxury like nothing else we've seen come to market in recent years. A unique and extremely limited opportunity. See it today. Read Less
