1906 Ward Street Durham NC 27707

Welcome to 1906 Ward Street—a home where classic charm and thoughtful design come together in one of Durham`s most beloved neighborhoods, Lakewood. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1,200 square foot home may be modest in size, but it lives so much larger thanks to its open-concept floor plan and intentional layout. The home is the result of a collaboration between the Hove Development Team and Four Over One Design, a woman-owned preservation design and consulting firm with deep roots in Durham. From the start, the vision was to build something that felt like it had always belonged here—something that honored the architectural traditions of the area, while offering the comfort and efficiency of new construction. Drawing from colonial design principles, the home features six-over-one Marvin windows that harken back to a bygone era, classic shutters, flower boxes on the front windows, and a charming arched roof overhang that gives the home its signature ``cute`` curb appeal. Every exterior element was chosen with care to blend seamlessly into the historic fabric of the neighborhood. Inside, the open floor plan creates a spacious flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas, making entertaining and daily living feel easy and natural. The site-finished hardwood floors add warmth and authenticity throughout, while a soothing palette of beige cabinetry, gold pulls, soft light fixtures, and a custom white oak dining table lend the space a sense of quiet sophistication. One of the most desirable features of the layout is the first-floor homeowner`s suite, allowing for true first-floor living—ideal for a wide range of lifestyles. Two additional bedrooms and a second bath offer flexible space for guests, a home office, or family members. Step outside, and you`ll find that the charm continues. For a home of this size, the fenced backyard is surprisingly generous—a perfect spot to enjoy dinner al fresco or host friends around a fall bonfire once the weather cools down. Whether you`re tending a garden, throwing a backyard birthday party, or simply enjoying a quiet evening outdoors, this space adds incredible value and flexibility to daily life. 1906 Ward Street isn`t just a house—it`s a home designed with purpose, rooted in place, and ready for its next chapter. Come see how small can still feel substantial, and how design can make all the difference.
