Description of 1108 Kentlands Dr, Durham, NC 27713
Listing details for 1108 Kentlands Dr, Durham, NC 27713 : A truly rare offering in 751 South, 1108 Kentlands Drive is one of only three Charleston-style Homes by Dickerson residences built in the entire neighborhood. Framed by double stacked piazzas, timeless architecture and a uniquely private setting, this home brings a level of character, charm and scarcity that is nearly impossible to replicate. Morning coffee, evening sunsets, quiet moments above the streetscape and views toward the pocket park across the street all become part of daily life here. The thoughtful positioning of the neighboring Charleston-style home further enhances the sense of privacy, creating a setting that feels tucked away while still being beautifully connected to the rhythm of the neighborhood. Inside, the main level was designed for effortless living and memorable entertaining. Ten-foot ceilings, site-finished hardwood floors, upgraded lighting, crown molding, custom window shades and a gas fireplace with custom built-ins create a warm yet refined backdrop. The kitchen anchors the heart of the home with quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry and drawers, a high-end gas range, and cabinetry that extends to the ceiling, drawing the eye upward and adding to the elevated sense of scale. With seamless flow between the kitchen, dining area, family room and keeping room, the main level is equally suited for slow Sunday mornings, casual weeknight dinners or gathering with friends before spilling out to the piazza. All bedrooms are thoughtfully located on the second floor, creating a private and practical bedroom level. The spacious owner's suite feels especially polished with site-finished hardwoods carried through for a cohesive, elevated finish. A small loft/flex space at the top of the stairs, adjacent to two of the secondary bedrooms, adds another layer of livability, ideal for reading, play, homework, lounging or creative use. Designer wallpaper, ceiling fans and carefully selected finishes bring warmth and personality throughout. The current sellers thoughtfully permitted and fully finished the third floor, transforming it into an incredibly functional extension of the home. This level offers a private office behind French doors, a generous bonus room, dedicated flex/gym space and an additional bathroom. Whether envisioned as a work-from-home retreat, media room, guest space, fitness area or playroom, the third floor offers the kind of flexibility that allows the home to evolve beautifully with its next owners.
