Property Description

Featured on NCModernist.org's profile of Richard Harkrader, 209 Dacian is a perfect example of his passive solar design. He built around 40 such homes across Durham, with the goal of reducing energy costs, and creating beautiful living spaces. His designs nearly all featured the cedar clapboard siding, large south-facing windows, the brick floors and the exposed wood framing you see in the home today. While the core architecture and energy efficiency remain, the home has two nicely updated bathrooms, new hardwoods upstairs, and and a bright, modern kitchen. A fig tree is thriving in the sun just off the large brick patio. The back yard is bordered by mature trees, and has amazing privacy. The quiet Old North Durham location is an easy walk or bike ride to the Foster/Geer/Central Park area with dozens of bars, restaurants, a food hall and a farmers market. This rare combination of architectural pedigree, updated finishes, and energy efficiency in a fantastic location is not to be missed.
