5 Newbridge StreetDurham, NC 27703Price: $495,000

Sometimes buyers just want the version where all the right things came together: single-story living, a screened porch, a fenced yard, a fireplace, extra kitchen storage, custom living room built-ins, and a front porch that actually gives the house some presence. 5 Newbridge is exactly that kind of house. This 3-bedroom home also includes a flexible bonus space that can easily function as a home office, workout room, studio, or whatever extra space life currently calls for. The laundry room is conveniently connected to the primary bedroom through a spacious walk-in closet. The kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow together comfortably, while seller-added cabinetry, countertop space, and custom built-ins surrounding the fireplace give the home more functionality and personality than many similar homes in the neighborhood. Out back, the screened porch extends the living space even further and looks out onto a fenced yard with raised garden planters already in place and ready for the next growing season. And yes, the garden containers and both the front porch and screened porch furniture convey, making it especially easy to settle right in. Beyond the house itself, Ellis Crossing offers one of the stronger amenity packages in the area, including indoor and outdoor pools, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, clubhouse, playground, soccer field, and dog park. Convenient to Durham, RTP, and RDU, 5 Newbridge offers an easy, low-maintenance lifestyle with thoughtful custom touches that help it stand apart.
