About 3501 Golden Heather Drive
Beautifully updated North Durham retreat with striking stone accent exterior details, tucked beside the woods just two doors from direct trail access into Eno River State Park. This versatile 3-bedroom home offers exceptional flexibility with a dedicated downstairs office and an upstairs bonus room perfect for a media room or playroom, all anchored by a spacious 2-car garage. Inside, soaring ceilings and abundant natural light create an open, airy feel throughout. The modern kitchen features stainless steel appliances and stylish finishes, flowing seamlessly into the main living spaces. A stunning see-through fireplace connects the living room to the screened porch, creating a dramatic focal point for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The expansive porch offers peaceful, year-round views of the surrounding trees. The primary suite is a true retreat: tray ceiling, a cozy sitting area ideal for reading, and a beautifully remodeled spa-inspired bath with soaking tub and upscale finishes. A new roof (2025) and a 220V garage outlet, ready for EV charging or a future sauna, round out the practical upgrades. Backing to a private wooded setting with Eno Trail access just 50 yards away in the cul-de-sac, this home is a standout for buyers seeking both comfort and outdoor lifestyle, all just minutes from downtown Durham, Duke, shopping, and dining.
