Whether it's dinner on Franklin Street, a night out in Durham, or a quick commute, getting where you need to go is simple--yet coming home still feels like a retreat.nnFrom the moment you arrive, the curb appeal draws you in--a long driveway sets the home back from the street, creating a tucked-away feel, while mature trees frame the property and add to its quiet charm.
