Current plans include an approximately 1,200-square-foot home offered at $480,000 and an approximately 1,761-square-foot home offered at $600,000. Plans are available for both proposed homes, and buyers who contract early in the construction process may have opportunities to customize select finishes and design details. Listing photos include architectural renderings illustrating the current design concepts for the proposed homes. Renderings are for visualization purposes only and do not depict completed improvements. Both lots are currently vacant and unimproved. Whether you are looking for a development opportunity, additional land alongside the existing residence, or the chance to secure a thoughtfully designed new home and personalize it before completion, these lots offer a flexible opportunity in one of Durham's established and desirable neighborhoods.
