For Sale: A Sky Blue B&B-to-be for $99K
Built in 1900, this 7-bedroom, 2,379 square-foot East Durham home is a biggie. And it just saw a big $21K price drop, bringing down its asking price to $99K. Located at 2443 Route 145, and listed by Anne Lafferty Realty, it's set up as a 1-family home but has some serious B&B potential.
The listing says it has 1 full bath and 3 quarter-baths, a term I hadn't heard before. According to Realtor.com, a full bath includes "a toilet, sink, bathtub, and shower (or shower/bath combo)," whereas a quarter bath has "just one of the four elements—typically a toilet." So this old beauty needs some work.
Good news: There's plenty of parking spaces for the people staying in all those bedrooms, and there's a "large 2-story barn and carport" in the backyard.
Bad news: It's on a 0.77-acre lot, so you're not getting a ton of room to frolic around in the grass.
The house also include a large living room, an eat-in kitchen, and probably more wood paneling than you ever dreamed about.
But man, that porch! For a place this pretty, that price tag is hard to beat. And if you're looking to open a B&B, it's located in a well-traveled part of East Durham, just across the street from Mooney's Auction House and The Irish Tea Shop.
