A rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind, fully renovated mixed-use building in the heart of Downtown Durham in a highly walkable location. Located in the highly sought-after Design District (DD-S1), 217 Hood Street seamlessly blends historic charm with modern design. The property features four beautifully finished 2-bedroom residential units and a third-floor commercial office suite, all thoughtfully crafted with high-end finishes and timeless architectural details.
