Property Description

Storybook charm and timeless character in one of Durham's most beloved in-town neighborhoods. This 1930s Watts Hillandale classic is the kind of house that fulfills dreams. From its swooping roofline and picket fence to the expansive screened porch, this home is brimming with warmth and character. Designated as a historic landmark, the Council-Arena House was beautifully built in 1937 for Jay Arena (1909), a professor of pediatrics at Duke. Inside, the gracious foyer with original banister opens to arched doorways, oversized original windows, hardwood floors, chunky moldings, and a welcoming living room with fireplace. The large dining room is adorned with historic built ins and the spacious kitchen has recent updates like quartz counters with breakfast bar, new sink, Bosch dishwasher, and a generous walk in pantry. The rear of the home is just as sweet as the front, with a quaint back porch ready to sit and swing while visiting with friends in the fenced backyard. Upstairs, the peaceful primary suite offers a rare luxury for a home of this era: an en-suite bath and large closet! Two additional bedrooms share a sweet vintage-tiled bath. A walk-in basement provides excellent storage and utility access. Set on bucolic W Club Boulevard, this is quintessential Watts Hillandale: tree-lined streets, a close-knit community, beloved traditions like the neighborhood Halloween parade, and an enviable walkable location near 9th Street, Duke, Monuts, Whole Foods, EK Powe Elementary, Oval Park and more. This beautifully preserved slice of Durham history is ready for its next chapter!
