Smack dab in the heart of downtown Durham, this thoughtfully designed 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo at Church + Main offers a quieter, more intimate alternative to larger condo communities. With just eight total units in the building - six of which must be owner-occupied - the atmosphere strikes a nice balance between urban living and a more private residential feel. Large picture windows, 10' ceilings, and hardwood floors give the home an open, airy feel, while the office nook with fireplace provides a comfortable, cozy spot to work or relax with a book. The kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless appliances and plenty of cabinet space, though with some of Durham's best restaurants literally outside your door, you may not cook as often as you planned. A sweet balcony overlooking Main Street offers an easy connection to the energy of downtown while still feeling surprisingly peaceful. The primary suite includes an enormous walk-in closet with extensive custom built-in cabinetry and storage. One secure garage parking space and access to the shared rooftop terrace complete the package. HOA dues include water/sewer plus bi-annual HVAC maintenance for extra easy, low-maintenance downtown living.

This offering totals 26.71 acres across 4 combined parcels, with 2 developed residences, two septic systems, 1 shared well, and 2 buildable 3+ acre lots. From the moment you step inside, cathedral ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows open every room to views of the land, so the changing seasons, deer moving through the meadow, and fireflies at dusk become part of everyday life rather than something you have to leave home to see. 319 Wrights Way (10.39 acres) is a 5,466 SF, 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home, featured in NC Modernist Homes, engineered from eight inches of precast concrete, virtually indestructible, with passive solar design, radiant heated concrete floors, a wood stove, and a main-floor primary suite with forest and creek views. Custom cabinetry throughout was handcrafted by a local master woodworker, and details like reclaimed hardwood floors, stained glass, and recycled bottle-glass tile add warmth throughout, up to a lookout tower reached by a ship's hatch. The walkout level adds a media/game room, a gym with infrared sauna, and a creekside hot tub alcove. 321 Wrights Way (10.08 acres) adds a 1,655 SF guest residence backed by a verified five-year short-term rental history, with 1 bedroom, a spacious loft, and 1.5 baths, a four-car garage/workshop wired for a car lift, and a private office. Two additional buildable parcels (3.24 and 3 acres) round out the offering, ideal for a family compound or future income property; all four convey together. Nearly 1,600 feet of frontage runs along Terrell's Creek, with miles of wooded trails, a cleared meadow, a 4,000-square-foot fenced garden and chicken coop, daily sightings of deer, bunnies, and salamanders, and rarer visits from turkeys, turtles and even a black bear. A private drive keeps the setting quiet and secluded, minutes from Pittsboro, Chapel Hill/Carrboro, and Jordan Lake. Wrights Way is a rare kind of home, one you can live in every day and still admire like a piece of fine art. No picture does it justice. Schedule your private tour today.
