Welcome to 617 E. Durham Street in East Mt. Airy! This is a lovely, light-filled 4-bed/2.5-bath duplex that has just been carefully renovated (2024).

[PLEASE NOTE: 617 E. Durham is the duplex on the right hand side of the first 3 photos. Photos of both 1st Floor and 2nd Floor Units are included in the listing -- they are not duplicates of the same photos.] Each unit has a brand new kitchen with granite countertops, soft-close white Shaker cabinets, stainless steel Frigidaire appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher, built-in microwave, 5-burner gas oven/stove), disposal, under cabinet lighting, and luxury vinyl plank flooring. The brand new bathrooms have tile floors, American Standard shower tubs with subway tile surround (with built-in niche) and Carrara marble shelves, Carrara marble thresholds, brushed nickel fixtures, high hat lighting, vanities, and wall-mounted mirrors with medicine cabinets. In addition to the updates mentioned above, many other upgrades have been made, including: fresh paint throughout, new brick pointing, a new fibered aluminum seal coat and resealed flashings on the roof, new doors, new locks, new double hung windows, new lighting throughout, 2 new hot water heaters, 1 new Crown Aruba boiler, new slate tile flooring (vestibule), most of the baseboard/trim throughout is new, and new concrete steps in the rear. The house has a full basement with W/D hookups, a renovated half bath (new toilet, flooring, and lighting), an unfinished section with all of the mechanicals, and a large finished common room with new carpeting that leads to both of the separate attached garages. There is a grassy front yard with tall, mature trees, as well as a backyard and driveway with access to both of the attached garages and to the easement that leads to Stenton Avenue! This is the perfect home for an investor client or for someone who wants to live in one unit and rent out the other! What are you waiting for? Come and see this lovingly renovated duplex before it flies off the market!
