Property Description

A rare chance to own a home with both literary legacy and an exceptional location. Once the residence of Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Don Murray, this 5-bed, 4-bath home is nestled in Durham's coveted Faculty Neighborhood within the Oyster River School District—just a short walk to downtown, the University of New Hampshire, the middle school, and local restaurants. The main level features a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a formal dining room that opens to a sun-drenched sunroom with walls of windows, leading to a private deck—perfect for outdoor dining. A graceful spiral staircase connects the sunroom to a lower-level office with its own backyard entrance, plus a flexible bonus room ideal for a studio or gym. A primary suite on the main level offers a luxurious retreat with its own private entrance, fireplace, and an en-suite bath with a walk-in shower. Upstairs, a second expansive primary suite features a fireplace and a jacuzzi bath, and three additional sunlit bedrooms share a full bath. With five fireplaces, central air conditioning, and thoughtful accessibility features—including a front porch ramp for step-free entry—this home is as functional as it is beautiful. A spacious heated two-car garage provides ample storage space. The serene backyard borders the Oyster River—offering rare natural beauty in such a prime location.
