Great for Family & Work - Near Duke & Hospital

Summary:
Circa 1900 Craftsman offers historic elegance and modern updates, 1.5 blocks from Duke's East Campus! 5 minute walk from Campus Shuttle Service. The home features renovated bathrooms, a wrap-around porch with cafe table for outdoor meals, porch swing, & lounge chairs for 4, stone * ceramic surfaces in Baths & Kitchen. Moments from Whole Foods, Monuts Donuts, Juju Asian Tapas, Harris Teeter, Dales Indian Cuisine, The Federal and more!

The Space:
The first floor En Suite King Bedroom offers a subway tie soaking tub, skylight & granite double bowl vanity. Living room has stunner designer leather sofa and side chairs, 40" Smart TV with YouTube TV for Cable options, and opens to spacious eat-in kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped for your culinary aspirations, and offers drip coffee maker with high quality coffee, Ninja blender/mixer, toaster, electric kettle and more. Full second bath downstairs features a gorgeous granite vanity, granite tile flooring and subway tile bathtub surround.

Stairs to second story lead to full bath with subway tile shower, and two bedrooms with double pillow top mattresses. Washer & Dryer upstairs in bath with starter washer pods for your convenience. We use Free & Clear Unscented laundry detergent on bedding and towels so our guests with sensitivities to perfumed products can breath easy.

This listing is for the primary house, and there is an additional "in law" suite at the back of the house with a separate entrance, also available for rent. You will have sole use of the large covered front porch while the back unit gets use of its own private back porch.

Guest Access:
You will be staying in the 1400 square foot main house- there is a keypad on the front door so that you can arrive when convenient, and come and go as you please. The driveway is for your use. We also have a back "mother-in-law" suite which has its own separate entrance, and that guest will walk up the driveway to access their unit.

The Neighborhood:
Historic Walltown is a diverse, mixed income, urban neighborhood with foot traffic. Please do not rent this home if you are not comfortable in a multicultural, urban setting as it will not be a good fit for you. The house is 1.5 blocks from the Duke East Campus walking path. The historic neighborhood is close to Duke's East Campus, 9th Street, Monuts & more!

Getting Around:
This house has easy access to I-85, NC-147 etc. Uber and Lyft are common in Durham so no worries if you don't have a car! There are also plenty of bus routes, and the neighborhood is walking distance to downtown if you prefer.

Other Things to Note:
As the home offers two separate units, we do ask guests to be considerate regarding noise, especially before 8am and after 9pm.

We have a Smart TV with access to Netflix, your Amazon or Hulu account, and many other apps. We Cut the Cord on Cable, but offer YouTubeTV which functions similar to Cable and offers tons of Live or On Demand Options!

Interaction with Guests:
We want you to be able to settle into this home as if it was your own. We'll stay out of your way, but we're just a quick message away if you have questions about restaurants, events or the house, or if an unexpected issue arises.

We are happy to answer questions that you may have! Whether it's a hankering for a local cider, a sudden urge for a new haircut or a desperate need for a donut, we are happy to help you find the closest and best place to make that happen.
