This is the one you've been waiting for -- a beautifully updated South Durham 3BR/2.5BA townhome in a great community and at an affordable price! If you are tired of townhomes with laminate counters, different flooring in every room, no parking, a washer and dryer in a closet or the kitchen, old appliances, and ugly lights galore, 3 Chownings Street is the solution! You won't find any of that here! Instead, this home offers the style and features you have been craving. The renovated kitchen is a standout, boasting sleek quartz countertops, a stylish tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a large single-basin sink with a brand-new faucet and garbage disposal. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the main dining and living area which centers around a gas fireplace. Fresh paint, gorgeous light fixtures, and new luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring throughout the first floor give the home a modern feel. A separate laundry room with washer and dryer included adds everyday convenience, while the cute rear patio offers the perfect spot for relaxing or entertaining. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious primary complete with a private en suite bath and a walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath provide plenty of room for guests, family, or a home office. Auburn is a lovely, established neighborhood with a community pool, sidewalks, mature trees, and friendly neighbors. It's just minutes from Southpoint, Research Triangle Park, and I-40. With thoughtful updates, tons of style, low-maintenance living, and an unbeatable location, this home has it all!
