B. Wallace Design & Construction

Talking Curbside with Britney someone who knows Durham like the back of their hand 🌳🏡

Q: Why do you love this neighborhood so much?

Britney: The obvious reasons are location: you’re close to downtown, it’s easy to hop on 147, and getting to the airport is simple. But what really makes it special is what’s inside the neighborhood. You’ve got the To***co Trail, a city park with tennis courts, a school, multiple churches, and a community garden. It’s incredibly rare to find all of that in one place. It’s also the quietest, most peaceful neighborhood we’ve ever worked in. If I were going to live in any of our infill neighborhoods, this would definitely be it.
Q: If you had to pick one Forestal floor plan to live in, which would it be?

Britney: I can’t pick just one, I have to give you two. The Thompson will always be near and dear to my heart because it was inspired by one of the first communities we built and a home there that I actually lived in. And then there’s the Omstead, mostly for the closet. The primary suite in the Omstead is spectacular overall, and it’s a great closet.
Q: Where’s your go-to spot to eat in Durham?

Britney: You might not know this about me, but I love to eat and I love going out to eat. I’m at some of these places at least once a week. Q Shack is definitely one. For a nicer meal, Nana’s and NanaSteak are both fantastic. Saltbox Seafood Joint is great. There are just so many good restaurants here. There’s really no wrong answer.

Contemporary build. The house is sited nicely on a nearly 3 acre lot while being a mere 20 minute drive to all things downtown Durham. The only party animal (neighbors) nearby are the goats that live across the road. Don’t worry, they go to bed early. Inside, the house offers an ample five bedroom, 3.5 bath floor plan, which can accommodate a variety of residential needs. The first floor features an open floor plan that will be dreamy for entertaining or hugely practical for those needing unimpeded sight lines on less trustworthy (little/ furry) household members. Upstairs, you’ll find the spacious primary suite along with a bathroom big enough for the most hectic of Monday morning preparations. A swoon-worthy closet can easily handle all four seasons, and even has a window for assessing looks without giving the dreaded fluorescent lighting ‘just got over the flu’ skin tone. The second floor also features two additional bedrooms, and a smaller room that could serve as a flex space or office. This house is perfect for someone wanting more rural vibes in their home lives without foregoing convenient access to urban areas.

The photography was definitely weak, but the warmth, community spirit, and organizational skills were anything but when 7 of our team members volunteered with a few weeks ago.

Food insecurity in Durham is very real, and the things this group achieves week after week to help local families was not only heart warming but very, very impressive. They run like a well-oiled machine to provide nutritious fresh produce and healthy dry goods to roughly 800 families a week.

Check out this organization, donate, and volunteer. We will definitely be back!
