4704 Cumberland Drive fosters connection, celebrates the beauty of nature, and offers room for everyone to spread out and belong. Sitting on a generous .40-acre lot backing up to HOA-owned forest land, it is steps away from miles of Duke Forest trails and just three miles from Duke University. It's the kind of location where you can start your day with a walk in the woods, listening to the birds and watching deer bound through the forest, head to work, and still catch dinner and a Broadway show downtown.
This home is built for everyday life and gathering. It offers more than 3,400 square feet of welcome, comfort, and connection. The open kitchen, living room, and sunny breakfast nook form the heart of the house - the place where stories from the day are told, meals are shared, and someone inevitably pauses to notice the changing leaves of the woods beyond the windows. The open and airy kitchen is absolutely lovely, with granite counters, a large island, double ovens, a gas cooktop, and a cheerful breakfast nook that seems to invite pancakes and second cups of coffee. The generous main-level primary suite offers comfort and convenience, while upstairs you'll find four additional bedrooms, two baths, and a huge bonus /loft ready for movie nights, sleepovers, or that hobby you swear you're about to take up. The home has been thoughtfully cared for with a new roof (2022), a new HVAC (2022), and a freshly painted deck (2025). Step outside and you'll find plenty of room to spread out, relax, grill, gather, or simply enjoy nature and the neighborhood. The lovely front porch is the perfect place to unwind after a long day and catch up with neighbors as they walk by. The back deck, just off the kitchen, overlooks the yard and the forest and is the ideal spot for your morning coffee or evening cocktail. But the lifestyle here goes well beyond the property lines. The neighborhood is wonderfully walkable and runner-friendly, and just down the street you'll find miles and miles of Duke Forest trails. Morning jog, afternoon hike, a bike ride through the woods, or an evening reset-it's all right there. Downtown Durham's incredible food scene is just minutes away. And perhaps the best part of all: the community. This has been a true family home, filled with laughter, activity, and neighbors who have become lifelong friends. In other words: Room to live. Trails to explore. A home where the stories of the day often end around the kitchen table. 4704 Cumberland Drive - where Durham living just feels right.
