Step into timeless elegance at The Wheatland, a prewar landmark in Trinity Park that blends historic character with modern sophistication. Originally built in 1930 as Erwin Apartments and meticulously reimagined into 10 private residences starting in 2017, The Wheatland evokes the charm of a classic New York building nestled among the trees of Durham's most beloved neighborhood. Penthouse 401 showcases an open floor plan with soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and seamless flow to a stunning private rooftop terrace with sweeping views. Three spacious bedrooms and expansive gathering areas provide both comfort and grandeur. The chef's kitchen features honed quartz countertops, Bosch appliances, and contemporary finishes, while original restored bronze windows and hardwood floors preserve the home's historic soul. Residents enjoy exclusive amenities including a swimming pool, two covered parking spaces, an EV charging station, and dedicated storage lockers-all just steps from Durham's vibrant lifestyle. Whole Foods lies across Duke's East campus, while downtown's dining, arts, and culture await three blocks away. Penthouse 401 is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history-complete with a private rooftop retreat-elevated with today's most desirable comforts.
