Durham, NC 27705

• • • OVERVIEW • • • Welcome to 203 Musket Lane, a beautifully updated 6-bedroom, 3-bath home with 3,159 square feet of professionally measured living space, set on a quiet interior double cul-de-sac in The Colony at American Village. The property offers an unusual combination of space, privacy, and convenience, with no through traffic, a partly wooded backyard with a mature forest grove, a location just minutes from Duke University, and an easy commute to UNC-Chapel Hill. • • • INTERIOR • • • Hardwood floors, high ceilings, crown molding, updated lighting, and abundant natural light create a bright, welcoming interior. The spacious family room with gas-log fireplace opens to the breakfast area and kitchen, featuring granite countertops, a center island, stainless appliances, double ovens including one convection oven, gas cooking, pantry storage, and views of the wooded backyard. A separate dining room provides additional space for entertaining. • • • FLOOR PLAN • • • The flexible floor plan includes five bedrooms upstairs and a separate bonus room, plus a first-floor bedroom with walk-in closet that can also function as an office, playroom, game room, or gym. The generous primary suite features a vaulted ceiling, large walk-in closet, dual vanity, soaking tub, and an updated bath with new tile and a frameless glass shower. • • • UPDATES • • • Major improvements include cabinetry throughout the kitchen and all three bathrooms sanded to bare wood and refinished with cabinet-grade paint in 2018; a new roof and new deck flooring in 2020; HVAC systems replaced in 2020 and 2022; original main-level hardwood floors refinished in 2022, with new hardwood installed that year in the first-floor sixth bedroom and throughout the second level; new primary bath tile and shower in 2022; a new washing machine in 2023; a new dishwasher in 2025; and new stair carpet, front porch railing, and deck railings in 2026. • • • OUTDOOR LIVING • • • The fenced backyard includes a secluded grove of mature hardwood trees, a well-maintained deck with abundant natural shade for much of the day, plus a seasonal overhead canopy for additional late-afternoon shade, and a natural-gas grill hookup. A professionally installed Gorilla Empire Extreme playset offers three play levels, three slides, monkey bars, swings, climbing features, and a bridge and tower. The playset was custom painted to coordinate with the house and deck, with roof shingles matching the home's roof for a cohesive look. The covered front porch adds another inviting outdoor space. • • • PARKING & STORAGE • • • Parking and storage are unusually generous, with an attached 2-car garage offering extensive lofted storage plus three independent paved outdoor parking spaces, including a side parking pad. Inside, the home offers four walk-in closets plus multiple additional closets, along with a pull-down attic and large backyard shed. Garage entry is directly adjacent to the kitchen for easy grocery unloading and convenient access to additional refrigerator or freezer storage. A dedicated main-level laundry room off the kitchen provides substantial overflow storage for countertop kitchen appliances, pantry items, and household supplies. • • • LOCATION • • • The neighborhood is adjacent to Duke Forest with miles of scenic trails. American Village Park, connected to the neighborhood by an off-street pedestrian nature path, is scheduled for a comprehensive city-planned playground renovation beginning October 2026. • • • INSPECTION • • • A September 2026 pre-listing home inspection is available for review.
