Discription


The Petty Home, a turn-of-the-century Queen Anne, is being fully restored by Miles Honeycutt. Miles is the same general contracter who oversaw restoration of the Clapp-Ferguson home and Winston's Broken House, both in the Cleveland-Holloway neighborhood. Miles is restoring the home in keeping with historic elements of the original house to a single family dwelling. Check back often and watch this great home come back to life.

There goes the neighborhood.


Well it's official - we're under contract!

Meet us - Craig Clement and Nellie Bellows. Nellie and I moved back to North Carolina about 2 years ago after a 4 year stint in Boston. I am originally from Winston-Salem, NC and Nellie grew up in Cambridge, MA, but it wasn't until our undergraduate days in Greensboro, NC that we joined forces and the rest is history.

After college we moved to Boston so that I could attend grad school which also allowed us to be closer to Nellie's family. While we loved Boston and dearly miss our friends there, it's great to be back in the south. We're currently living in Chapel Hill while the renovations on the Petty home are being completed but are very eager to become permanent residences of Durham. We've already made so many wonderful new friends in Durham and are excited about becoming more involved with the community.

Over the next few months we'll very often be over at the Petty house working with Miles and Ken on the restorations which are coming along swimmingly so far. Miles and Ken, along with our own realtor - Courtney James of Urban Durham Realty, have been amazing to work with so far and we can't wait to see the finished results and get into this wonderful home. Be sure to stop by and say hi sometime. We're looking forward to meeting all our new neighbors in Cleveland Holloway even though I feel like we know half of them already.
