ENDANGERED PROPERTIES
RESALE SERVICE
kress border
     The Endangered Properties Program offers, in part as incentive to prospective buyers, a free service to those re-selling houses with HPSD historic covenants attached.  Because HPSD has an interest in helping keep good owners in houses which have been through the program, it will help market these houses by including them on the web site, in newsletters, and in other promotions of Endangered Properties.

     Contacts, showings, and negotiations will be handled by the owners rather than HPSD, so please use separate contact information provided when inquiring about such properties.


The Geer Farm House
326 E. Trinity Ave.
Old North Durham
 SOLD!


 
     Built in about 1865, the Geer Farm House is among the oldest homes in Durham.  It was moved in 1923 to its present location at 326 E. Trinity Avenue in Old North Durham.
     The Planck family brought the house to HPSD in 2002, and a group of neighbors bought it and took on its renovation.
     It is now available after a complete overhaul.

Details:
- 2,400 sqare feet
- 4 Bedrooms, 2 1/2 Baths
- 1/4 acre lot (80' x 150')
- Zoned: R-5 (Single Family Resid.)
     All restorations were carried out according to the HPSD historic covenants and also followed the directives required for state historic tax credits.
     Among the many wonderful features in the house are the oak and heart pine floors all professionally refinished in May, 2003.
     Living in an historic home does not mean living without modern amenities.  Two new high-efficiency HVAC units have been installed to provide gas forced air heat and central air to the upstairs and downstairs separately.
     The kitchen has also been completely redone with new cabinets and counter tops surrounding a period cast iron sink.  The adjacent butler's pantry contains these shelves which probably date to the 1920's or before.
