This beautiful Victorian Queen Anne with original stained-glass windows at 210 E. Trinity Ave. is an important historic Durham property. (Check out my Oct. 20 journal entry: "The Historic McCracken-Mize has many fans" ). This historic property was the recipient of Preservation Durham’s Pyne Award in 1981 and qualifies for the Historic Tax Credits.

The church trustees say the best offers will be accompanied by a detailed explanation of the renovation plans of the buyers. The church is open to estimates of renovations vs selling price, but they will only consider “as is” offers and will not be responsible for any repairs. All buyers are advised to submit a cover letter with their offers. The church leaders say they will be reasonable because they wish to welcome their new neighbors and to be great neighbors themselves.
I share all of this with you, not because I represent the sellers; but because I would like to offer my services to you as a buyer’s agent who specializes in historic properties. Nothing would make me happier than to find just the right owner for this fine Victorian Queen… someone who could lovingly preserve her gothic, detailed angles; and renovate her diagonaled walls with bays of decorative pendant brackets.
With 11+ years of real estate brokerage experience, I would be happy to assist you in the acquisition of this fine home. So contact me right at away for your own private showing of the McCraken-Mize House or any other historic property. My contact information is
