Located in Durham, North Carolina, the 1972 property features a handsome gray facade that blends into the wooded site. A paved driveway leads to the detached carport.

Jenna Zeigler and her family carried out the dwelling’s makeover. "We are a fourth-generation family business," notes Zeigler, who is also the listing agent. "All we’ve ever known or done is real estate and construction. We buy the homes, conduct the renovations, and then I list them for sale."
Zeigler and her family were adamant about restoring the home’s period character. "We are very passionate about bringing houses back to life, and in this house we did just that. We put modern touches on every aspect possible, but still maintained that ’70s-era feel that so many remember and love—and, in our opinion, will never really go out of style."
A bright green door extends a warm welcome while also nodding to the fresh, upbeat colors of the ’70s. Black-framed glazing encapsulates the entrance for a modern touch.
