Welcome to 5500 Fortunes Ridge Rd, where good fortune isn't just in the name - it's in every detail. Tucked away in Durham's beloved Woodcroft community, with over 2400 square feet spread across three levels, you'll be hard-pressed to find a more spacious and well-maintained home at such an accessible price point.

You can choose to relax in front of your fireplace or get a head start working off that Thanksgiving turkey on the jogging trails that are *literally* right out your back door. The living room is appointed with hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings and opens to the dining room, making all of your holiday entertaining dreams come true. The options for rental income in this property are second-to-none: Upstairs you'll find two bedrooms, each with en-suite baths and the lower level includes over 800 square feet, with a dedicated living space (including a kitchenette), a third bedroom and bathroom, plus an exterior entrance. Whether you envision a mother-in-law suite, a long-term tenant, or you fancy yourself an Airbnb host, you've got options! Best of all, this special property has updates galore, including all new windows and custom bathroom renovations, just to name a few (see the documents section for a full list). Don't wait to come explore this cozy retreat; at 5500 Fortunes Ridge Rd, your good fortune is built right in.
