About This Home

1206 Vickers Avenue

From mornings spent at Orchard Park to evenings socializing downtown, this beautifully restored 1919 Craftsman bungalow offers the very best of Durham living. Located in the heart of beloved Morehead Hill, just one block from Morehead Montessori, the home blends timeless historic character with extensive modern updates and turnkey convenience while offering easy access to downtown Durham, Duke University, the American Tobacco Campus, restaurants, bars, DPAC, Durham Bulls Athletic Park, the American Tobacco Trail and Forest Hills Park. Over the past 13 years, the owners have thoughtfully renovated and meticulously maintained the property, preserving the craftsmanship of this 100+ year-old home while modernizing it for contemporary living. Major improvements include a fully reimagined gourmet kitchen, renovated marble bathroom, new roof, dual HVAC systems, exterior repairs and repainting, and the transformation of the unfinished lower-level walkout into more than 1,000 square feet of finished living space. Inside, the home is filled with natural light and original architectural details, including soaring 10-foot ceilings, expansive 4-over-1 sash windows, hardwood floors, intricate trim work and six original decorative fireplaces. The gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring an Italian Tecnogas Superiore range, marble countertops, custom cabinetry and a handcrafted walnut island built from reclaimed antique oak discovered in the basement during renovation. The expansive walkout lower level offers exceptional flexibility with two additional bedrooms, a full bath, bonus room with rough-in plumbing for a future kitchenette, separate exterior entrances and abundant natural light from restored original windows--ideal for guests, multigenerational living, recreation or work-from-home space. And wait until you see the expansive storage space and original coal room! Outside, the inviting front porch, mature landscaping, hardscape patio and detached garage create spaces equally suited for quiet mornings or entertaining before your short trip to root on the Durham Bulls! Rarely does a historic home offer this combination of preserved character, extensive updates and exceptional proximity in one of Durham's most sought-after neighborhoods.
