Rare investor opportunity steps from the heart of Downtown Durham. This 1930-built, two-level property at 708 S Roxboro Street sits on a publicly maintained road with immediate access to the American Tobacco Trail, Durham Bulls Athletic Park, DPAC, and the American Tobacco Campus -- one of the most walkable and in-demand corridors in the Triangle. The current configuration features two self-contained units, each with a private entrance, kitchen, living area, and primary bedroom -- offering flexibility for a full gut renovation, a duplex income play, or a single-family conversion. Two electric meters are already in place. Hardwood floors, crawlspace foundation, and a Colonial two-story footprint give this property strong bones for the right buyer. 24-hour notice required for all showings, by appointment only. Cash, conventional, and FHA 203K financing welcome. 1031 exchange eligible. Contact listing agent for comps and showing instructions.
