Property Description

Modern Victorian Charm Meets Historic Significance in the Heart of the Holloway Historic District.

Welcome to 516 Ottawa Avenue, a stunning restoration of the historic John H. Malone House, originally built in 1919 and now completely reimagined with luxurious modern finishes while honoring its early 20th-century character.

Nestled in the vibrant Cleveland-Holloway neighborhood, this home offers timeless curb appeal with its iconic wrap-around porch, the perfect space to relax just steps from downtown Durham.

Inside, you'll find a harmonious blend of historic charm and contemporary design. The interior has been thoughtfully renovated to include white oak engineered hardwood floors, 10-foot ceilings, and a soft neutral palette that enhances the home's light-filled spaces. The bathrooms have been fully updated with elegant tilework and modern fixtures, while wide base moldings and original architectural details nod to the home's rich past. Every detail has been crafted with intention.

This residence is located within the Holloway Street National Historic District and qualifies for Tax credits, offering long-term potential for personal use or investment.

Walk to Golden Belt, nearby restaurants, breweries, and cultural attractions, all just blocks away. Whether you're looking for a one-of-a-kind primary home or a stylish urban retreat, 516 Ottawa Avenue offers the best of both worlds: historic integrity and modern elegance.
