The Andrew Falls House is a picturesque early-20th-century brick cottage located in Durham's historic Watts-Hillandale neighborhood. Distinguished by its steep front-gable roof and a prominent gabled entrance, this home is a true gem tucked into one of the city's most beloved neighborhoods. The entry features an arched batten door framed by round-arched windows with decorative fanlights, adding light and a touch of romantic cottage character. Inside, the layout is a comfortable and efficient plan that includes hardwoods throughout, thoughtfully arranged living spaces, two bedrooms and one bath, and a separate dining area. The foyer opens to a side brick terrace, creating a graceful transition between the interior living spaces and the outdoors. A fenced backyard offers privacy and space for gardening, pets, or relaxing evenings outside. Fabulously located close to Duke University, walkable to both East and West Campus and the shops and cafés along Ninth Street, and near the restaurants and energy of Downtown Durham.
