Property Description

A Rare Gem in Forest Hills - Cottage home with a fully finished basement & Buyer Incentives!

Welcome to 2203 University Drive, a beautifully restored cottage with bold Art Deco influence, located in one of Durham's most beloved neighborhoods—Forest Hills. With its stone façade, arched windows and doorways, and curated blend of vintage character and modern luxury, this home is truly one of a kind.

Step inside to an open-concept living space filled with light and warmth. The living room features a classic fireplace that flows effortlessly into a spacious dining area and a fully updated kitchen complete with modern cabinetry, stylish finishes, and even a half bath for guests.

Down the hall, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom—perfect for comfortable everyday living. But the real surprise comes downstairs: a private ensuite with its own living area, dry bar, bookshelf nook, spiral staircase, and separate entrance. Ideal for guests, in-laws, or extra income as a private rental suite.

This home features:

3 Bedrooms | 2.5 Bathrooms

Whole-house spray foam insulation

Fully finished basement suite with private access

Front street parking + private rear driveway

Located just 3 minutes to Forest Hills Park and under 2 miles to Downtown Durham, DPAC, Tobacco District, Duke University, and Brightleaf Square

Seller is offering up to $15,500 in closing cost credit with preferred lender—to be used at the buyer's discretion! Whether applied to buying down your rate, covering lender fees, or reducing cash-to-close, this is a rare opportunity to save big.

Whether you're drawn to the curb appeal, charm, or location—this home checks all the boxes. Homes with this kind of architectural detail and flexibility don't come around often.
